Ladybug Pet Rock Toddler Activity

Try a Lady Bug pet rock! First you need to find an oval rock, the perfect size for a toddler. Then paint the whole rock red and let it dry. You may want to do this part yourself if your young one is still putting things in their mouth. Additionally, it is good to do this step ahead of time so that it has time to dry. If not, you could do the craft in two sections. Next, use a black permanent marker to color the front for a face. Draw a line down the middle and let your toddler make the dots. Toddlers love polka dots and they are good at it too! Finish with gluing googly eyes on the black face! To complete the project, read a book with your new pet rock about Lady Bugs or Insects. A great suggestion is "Ladybug Baby Bug" by Janice Perkins, it is cute and is sure to keep your toddlers attention.
