Playdough Ladybug:Playdough Ideas For Kids

playdough ladybug:create-kids-crafts.com



To make the playdough ladybug:

1. Body:Make a medium sized ball and flatten the bottom.

2. Head:Make a small ball and press it onto one end of the body. Use a drop of water to help it stick if needed.

3.Wings:Make a small ball and flatten it to make a flat circle. Cut the circle in half. Press half of the circle onto one side of the ladybug's body and the other half onto the other half of the body. Spread them open a bit over the body so the body is showing between the two half circles. For the spots on the wings, make 6 tiny balls, flatten them to make tiny circles and press them onto the wings.

4.Legs:Roll out 6 thin, short snakes and press them under the body.

5.Mouth:Take a plastic knife and indent into the center of the head for an open mouth.

6.Eyes:Make 2 tiny balls, flatten them to make tiny circles and press them onto the head. Make 2 more tiny balls for pupils and lightly press them on top of the flattened circles.
