We had fun with The Grouchy Ladybug by Eric Carle
John pulled out this book from his shelf and has fallen in love with it! The Grouchy Ladybug by Eric Carle has a lot of great life lessons in it. We have learned about night time versus daytime, telling time with clocks, sharing, learning about the circle of life, learning about large and small animals, and the importance of friendship.
We colored a picture of a Leaf and colored both the ladybugs and the little aphids. This was very exciting, as this was the first time John has intentionally colored. {Proud mama moment.}
We made some ladybugs by cutting a potato in half and doing some good-ol’-fashioned potato stamping! We then worked with black paint to make all of the ladybugs friendly (“and not grouchy”) because the two ladybugs in the book are friends in the end : )
