Oh ladies, do you know what bugs me? Bugs! I don't like bugs. There is an exception though and I think most people have it too. I don't mind ladybugs. If a bug lands on me I usually start to jump up and down screaming to get it off of me, not ladybugs though. I can just sit down in the grass and let half a dozen ladybugs crawl all over the back of my hand, giggling away as their cute little legs tickle my fingers. That's why ladybug crafts for kids are probably the best kinds of kid's crafts.
They are very adorable and they help remind kids that not all bugs are icky. Ladybug crafts are usually very simple to make, too. They are good crafts for little kids and are usually identifiable to grownups, because of the telltale markings so even if little hands can't make the best craft yet everyone still knows what it's supposed to be.
