Paper Mache Ladybug


We are learning insects during spring break. I borrowed some books about insects from the library and let the kids read them. I found a craft online about making the paper mache lady bug. It is fun and easy to do.

First, I found two styrofoam cups. One big and small. The kids tore the newspapers in strips and we glued them on top of the cups. I used the white flour and water to make the glue.




We let it dry overnight and it is ready to be painted. Red and black are the main colors.



This the final product! A paper mache ladybug.
