A round, smiling ladybug sits on a big leaf, showing off seven fat spots. The large shapes are perfect for small hands still learning to color inside the lines. Try red or orange for the shell and save black for the spots, or let your child invent a rainbow ladybug.
Ladybugs eat tiny insects called aphids that damage plants. One ladybug can eat thousands of aphids during its life, so gardeners love having them around.
Try this together
Count the spots together, then draw more spots on a second ladybug and count again. Talk about which ladybug has more and which has fewer.
