How to make a ladybug craft puppet
Print out the ladybug template. Cut out the template and set aside.
Cut large squares of red and black cardstock or construction paper and glue onto the paper bag. Make sure the paper is the same size as the bag. You want to glue on the side that the square bottom flaps up. If there is any excess paper of the sides of the bag, use scissors to trim it.
Trace the wing template onto red paper and cut out. Trace the circles for the wings onto black paper and cut them out. Glue the black polka dots onto the wings. If there is any excess paper on the sides, trim with scissors.
Trace the ladybug’s face shape onto red paper and cut out and glue onto the paper bag. Cut off any excess paper.
Glue the wings onto the sides of the paper bag, making sure they are not touching. You'll want to have some black space showing in between the wings.
Trace the antennae template onto black paper, then cut them out and glue them onto the back of the paper bag.
Now it's time to cut out the eyes out and glue them onto the ladybug’s face.
Trace the small oval onto pink paper, cut out and glue just below the eyes.
Use a black marker to add a cute little mouth to your ladybug’s face.
