Directions

  1. NOTE: After any step involving paint, be sure to let the paint dry completely before moving on to the next step.
  1. Wash and dry all your rocks thoroughly.
  2. Paint the rocks any color you choose. You might want to make a red ladybug…but you can also use yellow, green, purple, or any other color.
  3. Paint about the first 1/4 of your rock black. This will be the ladybug’s head.
