Whether you’re celebrating spring or you just need your day brightened, this ladybug headband is a great project for toddlers and preschoolers to try.

Spring paper crowns are fun to pair with a study of ladybugs or other spring insects.

This insect paper hat template comes with colored and black and white versions.

The colored template is great for a spring birthday party.

The black and white template is a fun coloring activity for kids.

Invite your child to be creative while coloring the ladybug headband, featuring a ladybug face with its shell open on the sides!

Ladybug fun facts

Ladybugs are interesting insects: In its adult lifetime, each ladybug may eat up to 5,000 aphids!

Their spots aren’t just for fun – they warn that ladybugs aren’t a great snack.

If this first line of defense doesn’t work, ladybugs also play dead to fool predators!

Their iconic red shells do not actually serve as wings – the shell, called the elytra, opens to reveal wings hidden underneath!
