Easy Directions to Make a Potato Masher Ladybug

Gather your supplies. Using the scissors cut six legs for each ladybug you will make out of the black paper.

LADYBUGS

Dip the potato masher into the red paint (make sure the entire surface is covered in paint so that it stamps a full circle) and stamp it three times on the blue construction paper to make three ladybugs.

Before the paint dries add googly eyes to the face of the ladybugs.

Making the Ladybugs Dots

Dip the cork into the black paint and dab it to make the spots on the ladybugs.

LADYBUGS2

Add the construction paper legs of the ladybug directly into the paint. If the paint is dry use a bit of glue, if it is still wet stick the legs directly into the paint.
