With the holidays upon us, I have found some lovely nature activities to do here. I would also like to share a minbeast craft with you for those rainy days. It's cheap and easy!
The base for this is the shaped card that is used to package layers of apples for supermarkets. They are normally only too pleased to give them away.
You will need:
apple packaging
scissors
glue
black and red paint
sharp pencil
googly eyes
cotton bud
Instructions:
Cut out one of the round shapes.
Paint just over half of it with red paint.
Paint the remainder of the shape with black paint.
Also if the red is dry paint the line down the ladybird's back and as many spots as you would like.
Whilst you are waiting for the ladybird to dry paint the cotton bud antenna with black and leave to dry.
Meanwhile, cut out six black legs.
Stick them to the underside of the ladybird
Stick on some googly eyes. With a sharp pencil make two holes
Cut the cotton bud in half and put one in each of the holes.Stand back and admire your handiwork!
great idea,
