This project is available on several art websites. We started with 9"x 12" red construction paper and drew a large "hill" for the ladybug's back. First graders cut out a large black circle from 4" x 4" paper for the face. The spots were made with black marker and could be realistic or artistic shapes.
After adding eyes and a pipe cleaner for antennae, we cut out our ladybug.
A yellow 12" x 14" background was glued onto a larger piece of colored paper and we made some pretty flowers, leaves or grass. Some 1st graders have been studying ladybugs in their classroom and told me ladybugs have 6 legs, so that is how many we drew with black crayon.
These giant ladybugs have such cute personalities, just like 1st graders!
