L is for Ladybug Handprint Craft
This craft uses some paint and simple supplies to make an adorable ladybug. It’s always a lot of fun to for the kids to see how their hand print can turn into something else. For this craft, we make a red handprint for the ladybug’s body, and then use a paintbrush and fingerprints with black paint to make the head, wings, and spots.. It’s a simple and hands-on way to learn about the letter L!
Materials:
- Letter “L” is for Ladybug printable
- red paint
- black paint
- paint brush
- wipes to clean hands
First, print the printable to go along with this craft. We like to practice the letter on the first page before making our L is for Ladybug handprint, and we do the next page while the handprint is drying.
Start by painting the entire palm and fingers with red paint. This will be the ladybug’s body.
Now it’s time to make the L is for Ladybug handprint. Place the hand in the center of the page, with fingertips pointing downwards. The easiest way to do this is by turning the page upside down and then making the handprint.
After the L is for Ladybug handprint dries, it’s time to make the rest of the ladybug. Start by making a black semi-circle head and curly antennae. Also make a line down the center of the palm and down the middle finger to make the wings.
Next, use a finger to make fingerprint dots on the wings.
