Ladybugs!

A few friends of mine from church and I decided to plan weekly themes with our kids and give each other different ideas for little lessons and activities to do to go along with that theme. The first theme that we picked was "Bugs" It has been fun to learn about different bugs and do different activities and crafts about different kids of bugs. Today we decided to all get together and do some fun ladybug activities. I was watching Mason so it was fun to have him join us! The first thing the kids did was paint rocks to look like ladybugs. They painted them red and then dipped q-tips in black paint to make the spots.

Then they painted sugar cookies to look like ladybugs. They frosted them with red frosting and then added chocolate chips for the spots. Here is Levi frosting him. He had a bit of a meltdown at the beginning, because he thought the frosting looked pink, and he doesn't like pink things. (Brandon has him trained well). He finally came to terms with it, and then enjoyed making his cookie, and more importantly eating it!
Here are some pictures of the other little girls that were there. They all had so much fun playing together.


There were 14 kids total, and it got a little crazy, but the kids all had a blast. It's always fun to get out and do fun things with other mom's. It helps me keep my sanity!
