Step 1

Download the ladybug template, print, and cut out the pieces you need.

Step 2

Paint a paper plate with 1-2 thin coats of red acrylic paint and let it dry completely.

Step 3

Place the ladybug’s body template on the dry paper plate, trace it with the pencil, and cut it out. Arrange the black circles along the body of the ladybug.

Step 4

Next, create the head of the ladybug by gluing the mouth to the middle and bottom of the head.

Step 5

Place the ladybug’s eyes, one on each side of the head, above the mouth, and glue them down.

Step 6

Position the completed head at the bottom of the ladybug’s body so it’s slightly hanging off the paper plate and glue it in place.

Step 7

Glue the antennae to the middle and top of the ladybug’s head.

Step 8

Finish up by gluing the feet to the bottom of the ladybug’s body, with three legs on each side of the head.
