Make a Crawling Ladybug
by Belinda Mooney
Description: These cute ladybugs are made from walnut shells. Great group craft activity for kids.
Things you will need:
- empty walnut shell (one shell will make 2 ladybugs)
- red and black paint
- magnet
- small wiggly eyes
- garbage bag ties (the kind with the thin metal wire in them)
- small cardboard box (thin cardboard like a shoebox)
- craft glue (tacky glue)
1. Paint your walnut shell red. Let it dry.
2. Now paint on black dots and a small circle for the head.
3. Glue on two small wiggly eyes.
4. Turn your ladybug over after it is all dry.
5. Glue three garbage bag ties across the bottom of the walnut shell.
6. Turn your ladybug upside right and bend the ties ends that stick out up to look like legs.
7. Now put your ladybug on top of a thin box and put a mganet under the box.
8. Move the magnet and your ladybug will crawl!
Fun scout idea. Have a race!
