Sponge Painted Ladybug Craft

Ingredients

  • Sponges
  • Red paint
  • Paper plates (for paint)
  • Scissors
  • Black construction paper
  • Glue
  • Black Sharpie
  • Black paint
  • White card stock
  • Googely eyes
  • Q-tip

Instructions

  • Prepare Your Sponge: Start by cutting your sponge into a circle—these will be your ladybugs' bodies. Use the bottom of a cup or a roll of tape to trace on the sponge to get the circle shape.
  • Paint the Body: Pour some red paint onto a paper plate. Dip the round sponge into the red paint and press it firmly onto the white card stock to create the ladybug’s red body. Repeat reveal times on the page to fill the spaces with ladybugs.
  • Add Details: Once the red paint dries, use black paint to add spots to the ladybug. Cut a small piece of black construction paper to make the head and the black line for the wings and glue it at one end of the red circle and to the middle of the red circles.
  • Glue on Eyes:Glue on googley eyes to the top of the ladybug heads.
  •  Final Touches: Use the black Sharpie to add legs and antennae to complete your ladybug.
