Looking for things to do over the summer? Why not try out our ladybird craft? It’s simple and easy to make with our step by step instructions. We’d love to see if you gave it a go, so do send us your pictures here or on social media. We made this as part of this month’s theme for Tots 100 #BostickBlogger craft which was summer.

Step 6

It started to take the shape of the ladybird head.

Cut out body

Step 7

Using some of the leftover black cardboard we put it onto the plate as the ladybird’s body. We stuck it on using the Bostik Blu Stick. It’s great for little hands and the fact it’s blue you can see where it goes.
Cut out Ladybird Spots

Step 8

You can’t have a ladybird without spots, can you? We cut out six spots for our ladybird. How many will you choose?

We then stuck the spots onto the ladybird wings.

Step 10

Stick them onto both wings.
Split Pin

Step 11

When both wings are ready, we added them to the body and used a split pin so we could have movement in the wings.

Open split pin

Step 12

Split pin opens at the back to secure. We added it at the top and it’s a simple way to bring crafts to life.

Step 13

It is starting to take shape.
Make Ladybird Antenna

Step 14

Next up, make Ladybird Antenna. We did these by curling pipe cleaners around our fingers. Take them off carefully and they will look like this.

Stick on using Bostik

Step 15

Using your bostik blu stick, stick on the head and the antennae to the ladybird body.

Step 16

And here we have our fabulous Ladybird Craft. We were really pleased how well it turned out. We plan to have a look in the garden for some other insects we can create in a similar way. A bee perhaps. We’d love to know if you make this craft and what animal you go with.

Disclaimer:- We were sent a box of craft materials & Bostik Blu Stick from Craft Merrily as part of being a Tots100 #BostikBlogger, but quite a few we already had in the house.
