Younger children may need help making their ladybirds but they will develop their co-ordination skills learning how to race them. This is a good rainy day activity, but also works as a party game. What this activity will develop:
Motor and art skills What you'll need: - Cardboard
- Pencil
- Markers or crayons
- Scissors
- Hole punch
- Wool
What to do: - Draw a ladybird. Use markers or crayons to colour its back red and its legs, spots, and antennae black.
- Cut the ladybird out and punch a hole through it.
- Thread a long piece of wool through the hole, and knot each end.
How to play: - Loop one wool end over the back of a chair or a doorknob.
- With the ladybird at the other wool end, step back, pulling the wool until it is taut.
- Hold the wool end with both hands, and move the ladybug along the wool by shaking the wool end. Don't touch the ladybird to move it.
- Hold a race with other players to see whose ladybird is fastest.
