Simple Cardboard Ladybug Craft
I totally adore Ladybugs, I think it must be their little spots;)  After making our little paper plate ladybugs, and I couldn’t resist sharing another simple ladybug craft.  These little cardboard cuties are easy to make and go right along with the other recycled crafts we have been sharing.
Materials:
- Corrugated Cardboard
- Scissors ~ cardboard can be tough to cut, so you may have to help little ones.
- White Glue
- Red and Black Paint
You could easily use a paper plate, but I love the texture that the cardboard creates. Â We distressed our little ladybugs using the same process as our Cardboard Apple Trees.
Painting is always my kids favorite step.
Tip for painting small pieces:
Use a circle of tape to secure the cardboard pieces to the table. Â This will keep them from wiggling around as the kids paint them.
The kids had fun assembling their little cardboard ladybugs. Â I have to say they look pretty adorable. Â I love the texture of the cardboard that peeks through.
Cardboard is such a versatile medium. Â However, my favorite part is that it is free:) Â Have you tried making your own cardboard stamp or a fun paint filled maze? Â I challenge you to look at the next box that comes in your door in a new way. Â See what you can create! Â You might surprise yourself.
