Take the half sheet of green paper and lay it flat. This is going to be what you glue the ladybug to!
Go ahead and roll up a square sized piece of black construction paper.
You can glue it or tape it, whatever works best.
You are going to tape the black tube to the green paper. Again, you can glue it or tape it.
You are then going to take an even smaller piece of black construction paper and roll it up. You will glue the ends together as shown below.
This will become the head of the ladybug.
The head is an important part of this ladybug because it is what makes the ladybug look so friendly.
Take red construction paper and cut out a half-circle. You will want to do this twice. Have your child create little black circles on the red wings.
The half circles will then be glued to the black tube. You will want to glue them at a diagonal.
