Kindergarten's Ladybugs

For my after-school kindergarten class, students learned about symmetry and painted ladybugs. I first read to them a fun hide-and-seek book called Yoo-Hoo, Ladybug. The grass texture was created by applying saran wrap on wet watercolor. They painted a separate watercolor paper in reds and oranges and after it dried, cut out an oval and glued it to their grass. Then they painted the ladybug's spots being careful to replicate them on the opposite wing, and head and antennae.
