Ladybug Handprint Craft

Ladybugs are everywhere come Spring making them an ideal topic for 3 and 4 year olds to focus on! Previously we have completed lots of different ladybug preschool crafts for 3 year olds and this is the most recent of these. 

We have used paper to make the handprints but you can also use paint! This is a very quick craft for toddlers and preschool kids alike; it can be completed in around 20 minutes!

I actually love activities that have less than 10 steps and this is one of them!

Why not make these in combination with some of my cute ladybug coloring pages?!

If you love using handprint art why not make a beautiful handprint butterfly or some frog handprints!

My rainbow colored Parrot handprint craft is very pretty and popular with both girls and boys.
