Supplies Needed for Ladybug Toilet Paper Roll Craft

To make this little ladybug craft, you'll need the following supplies:

This little ladybug is a perfect summer craft for preschoolers.

To make the this ladybug toilet paper roll craft, start by grabbing your empty toilet paper roll and the rest of your supplies.

Then follow the steps in this tutorial.

Cut the black craft paper to fit over the cardboard roll. (About 7 inches by 4 inches)

Roll the black craft paper around the toilet paper roll and glue it down.

Next, cut out a red piece of craft paper, half the size of the black craft paper piece (7 inches by 2 inches.)

This will be the lady bugs "red wings."

Next, wrap the red strip of paper around the bottom half of the black roll.

Glue the red strip in place and allow to dry.

Using a hole punch, cut out several black dots.

You could also cut by hand, but they are a little harder to get round.

Glue them on the red area of your ladybugs body, like shown in the photo below.

Now add a set of googly eyes to the ladybug's upper half.

Cut out 2 thin black strips of paper, and glue them to the top of your toilet paper tube to represent the ladybug's antenna.

Now your toilet paper roll ladybug craft is all finished!

Ain't she cute!
