Ladybug Egg Carton Craft

[jhankerson10]

Materials:
styrofoam egg carton cup
white acrylic paint (grey or red would work too)
red tempra, poster or acrylic paint
black tempra, poster or acrylic paint OR a black marker.

Directions:
cut a single cup from a styrofoam egg carton

paint the entire cup with white acrylic paint (tempra/poster paint won't stick to styrofoam. Acrylic will). Acrylic paint will not come out of clothes, so if you let the kids do this step, just be careful. Otherwise you can pre-do this step for them.

let dry (less than 1/2 an hour)

paint the ladybug red - tempra or poster paint sticks fine to the acrylic paint, so you can paint with kid friendly paints at this point.

let dry

paint or draw with markers a head on the front, a stripe down the middle and a few dots!
