This week in art class, our early learners had a blast creating their very own ladybugs! This fun and engaging project introduced students to key concepts such as pattern recognition, repetition, size or scale, and cutting skills—all while sparking their creativity.

Using a variety of materials including white and construction paper, crayons, stencils, glue, scissors, and some extra-cool googly eyes, our young artists got hands-on experience with different media. They practiced tracing stencils, cutting out shapes, and assembling their ladybugs while exploring patterns for the wings and considering how the size of each part fit together.

Not only did this activity help refine their fine motor skills, but it also encouraged problem-solving and creative decision-making. Of course, the highlight for many was choosing the perfect googly eyes to give their ladybug its unique personality!

Ask your child to share their artistic process with you—how did they decide on their pattern or color choices? What did they enjoy most about the project? Your child’s artwork is not just a ladybug; it’s a story of growth, learning, and creativity.

We’re so proud of our little artists and can’t wait to see where their imaginations take them next!
