Choose a piece of construction paper for your background. If you don't have a paint brush, you can make your own! Pinch a pompom with a clothespin to make a paintbrush. Put some red and black paint on a paper plate or a piece of newspaper. In the middle of your paper, paint a big red oval for the ladybug's body. Then, use black paint to make the ladybug's head. Use a paint brush or Q-tip to draw a black line down the middle of the ladybug's body. If you don't want to use paint, you can use markers or crayons instead.
