Ladybugs
This is another paper activity that is a favourite with my daughter – paper lady bugs. For 1 Ladybug:
“Girls”
We made linked paper dolls a while ago, and my daughter has never tired of them. In fact, she asks to make them again and again very often. She calls them “Girls”. These “Girls” won us a craft book from the huggies craft ideas competition. It’s an old classic, but it is so much fun. [...]
