How to make a ladybug mobile
Equipment required:
- ladybugs - choose color or blackline
- scissors
- glue
- string
- tape
- colored pencils (if using the blackline version)
Steps to make a ladybug mobile
- choose how many bugs you want on a single string and print enough ladybugs
- you will need one printed page per ladybug
- color the ladybugs (if using blackline version)
- cut the circles out - 3 make one twirling ladybug
- fold each circle bug in half
- cut a length of string (determined by how long you want them hanging from the ceiling)
- tape a string in the center of one circle bug along the fold line
- put glue along one half of the bug with string
- place half of a 2nd bug on this glued section
- glue over the 2 halves that are now exposed (one will be from the 1st bug, the other from the 2nd bug)
- place the 3rd bug over these 2 glued halves and press down to secure
- lift up from the string and give shape to the bug
- if you would like more than one bug on each mobile, simply use a long piece of string and repeat the over procedure further down along the string
