Step 1: Download and Print the Free Ladybug Craft Printable Template
Download the Free Ladybug Craft Template. You will be stapling the printed PDF to sheets of colored paper to cut out the shapes. The PDF file contains everything you need to make enough this easy ladybug craft.
Step 2: Cut Out the Ladybug Craft Shapes
Once you have the print outs, staple them to construction paper and cut out the shapes you need.
If you want to make this craft with a group of kids, you can staple the template to up to 10 sheets of copy paper, 5 sheets of cardstock or 5-8 sheets of construction paper.
So, did you know, you can staple together 10 pieces of copy paper and cut out 10 shapes at a time?! That’s my SECRET to fast & easy crafting.
Stapling the paper is very important because it makes sure it doesn’t move as you cut. The more staples the better. Cardstock is the thickest so you may only be able to cut 5 sheets at a time.
Tip: While you’re cutting, if you cut off all parts of the pages that have staples, make sure to re-staple the sheets that are left.
Whenever you’re cutting multiple sheets at a time, make sure they are always stapled together!
Step 3: How to Assemble
Whether you call it a ladybug or ladybird, this craft is so easy. Your children will love gluing it all together and make it their own!
- Glue the black oval head behind the red circle body.
