Ladybug Counting Hat Craft

The best time of year to observe insects is in the spring. After a long hibernation, they are hungry little buggers. They come out immediately when it turns warm to find food.

Currently, my son and I are studying ladybugs. We are hoping to see a few in our yard soon. While we were waiting, I had him create a ladybug counting hat craft. This is an easy project. Just follow the simple instructions below.

To make this a learning activity, we used the sticky black dots to brush up on counting, adding, and simple subtracting skills.

 

  • construction paper black and red
  • black pipe cleaners
  • scissors
  • googly eyes
  • white crayon
  • glue stick
  • black circular stickers

  1. Cut a thick red strip of construction paper. 
  2. Cut a half circle in black construction paper, glue on red construction paper.
  3. Add googly eyes.
  4. Draw month with white crayon.
  5. Add on pipe cleaners.
  6. Add on sticky dots.
  7. Staple strip around the child’s head.

Meet the Teachers

Meet the Teachers

Back when we were both teaching, we dreamed of a website that would make lesson planning easier. We both remember late nights scouring search engine for unit ideas. After searching 1000s of blogs and sites, nothing was exactly meeting our vision: creative resources for the overworked teacher or homeschooler! So…this was born.
