Nature to Art

Yesterday was Earth Day so we've been doing crafts with things we've found in nature or around the house. The first craft we did was a simple lady bug rock. Here's what you need:
*Go on a nature walk to collect flat round rocks
*red and black paint
*googly eyes (optional)
*pipe cleaners (optional)

Have your child paint the rocks red.


After those are dry, paint on the head and spots. You can add pipe cleaner antennas or feet. We didn't add eyes, but you can paint white dots on or glue on googly eyes. We have a grandma that loves lady bugs and she might want these in her garden.
