Ready to dive into the adorable world of ladybugs? These polka-dotted cuties are not only a delight to see in your garden but they can also be the subject of some super fun crafts for kids! This is why I’ve collected a fantastic lineup of ladybug crafts and listed them below.

Fun facts about ladybugs

Before we get into the crafts, let’s learn a couple of interesting facts about these tiny winged creatures:

  • Did you know that ladybugs are actually beetles, not bugs? That is why they are also known as lady beetles or ladybirds.
  • They come in a bunch of colors, not just the classic red with black dots. They can be yellow, orange, or even pink! Plus, some have stripes instead of spots.
  • When threatened, ladybugs can play dead. They will also secrete a stinky yellow liquid that can keep predators away. So don’t scare them or you may not like the results!
  • They are garden helpers. How? One ladybug can eat up to 5000 insects in its lifetime! This helps keep them from eating your garden plants.
  • If you ever come across a ladybug, make a wish! Legend has it that spotting a ladybug brings good luck.
  • If they live in a cold winter area, ladybugs will have season-long slumber parties! They will group together to keep warm and hibernate.

So, next time you see a ladybug, don’t scare it, make sure to thank it for taking care of your garden and don’t forget to make a wish! If you’re interested, here are more facts about ladybugs.
