Music/Movement - Five Little Ladybugs 


Five little Ladybugs climbing up a door
One Flew away then there were four
Four Little ladybugs sitting on a tree
One flew away then there were three
Three little ladybugs landed on a shoe
One flew away and then there were two
Two little ladybugs looking for some fun
One flew away and then there was one
One little ladybug sitting in the sun

She flew away and then there were none

Art - Ladybug Potato Prints

Cut a potato in half and dip into red paint and then press on your paper to make a lady bug. When the paint has dried, you can go back and add black spots by dipping the eraser part of a pencil in black paint and press on your red ladybugs.

Ladybug Facts: 


1) Ladybugs have 6 legs. Can you count them?

2) Ladybugs usually have black spots and they also come in lots of colors including:
Red Ladybugs
Yellow Ladybugs
Orange Ladybugs



3) Ladybugs are helpful to a garden because they eat other bugs that are harmful to plants. 
4) Ladybugs taste and smell with their antenna
5) Ladybugs don’t sting. They do have teeth but they usually will not bite. It is okay to have a ladybug land on you. Be gentle to them and they will be kind to you.
