Southside’s Virtual Kids’ Club brings you egg carton ladybugs craft
Hi again Lillie! For Southside’s Virtual Kids’ Club, she’s making ladybugs out of egg boxes and she invites you to learn a rhyme about polka-dot ladybugs. Enjoy!
You will need:
- Egg carton
- Scissors
- Glue Stick
- Felt Pens or Paint
- Pipe cleaners or straws
- Paper or card
- Googly eyes - optional

Step 1
Cut the egg cartons into individual cups. You might need help with this from a grown up. Paint or colour in the egg cup red.
Step 2
Cut a circle shape out of paper or card for the face. Colour or paint this black and draw the eyes, or stick on googly eyes if you have these.
Step 3
Cut up the pipe cleaners or straws to make antennae, if you don’t have these, cut some paper, colour this in black and roll up.

Step 4
Using a sharp pencil, poke holes through the front of the egg cup for the antennae. Ask a grown up for help with this. When you have finished this, stick the face on the front of the egg cup.
Step 5
Finish by drawing spots on the egg cup to complete your ladybird.
