How to make a clay pot ladybug craft for kids!
STEP ONE
Basecoat both clay pots with red acrylic craft paint. Let the paint dry and then apply a second coat, if necessary.

STEP THREE
Cut a 12” chenille stem in half and fold both sections in half.
Attach two wiggle eyes to each Ladybug's head with a glue gun and glue sticks. You can use liquid craft glue for this project, but you must wait for it to dry.
Then glue the Mama and Baby Ladybug heads to the base of the clay pots.
