9. The “Lucky Ladybug” Handprint

Ladybugs are a sign of good luck and a healthy spring garden. This craft is simple, bold, and very popular with preschoolers.

  • Materials: Red and black paint, white paper.
  • Steps:
    • Paint the entire hand red and press it on the paper.
    • Once dry, use a fingertip to dip in black paint and add “spots” all over the red palm and fingers.
    • Draw a small black semi-circle at the base of the palm for the head.
