Ladybug Hat Kids Craft

Have you ever wondered where the lady bug got her name? Wonder no more, I’ll tell you the legend. Hundreds of years ago in Europe, farmers prayed to the Virgin Mary for help because droves of aphids were destroying their crops. Help came! Pretty little red beetles with black spots, acting as pest control, devoured the aphids, saving the crops. The people referred to the beetles as their lady’s bug and eventually the term derived into ladybug. Fun right? Now to have some fun with a lady bug craft! This cute little hat is simple for little fingers too.

  • Tape

  • 2 1/2”-2” strips of red paper
