Ladybugs are one of the first bugs many kids learn to love because they are small, round and harmless. They help gardens by eating aphids, tiny insects that hurt plants. Most people picture red with black spots, but ladybugs can also be orange, yellow, pink or black with red spots. Spots make these pages handy for early counting.
Kids can color the red shell first and then fill the spots with a black marker. For a 3D look, glue a colored ladybug onto a painted rock or a halved paper cup.

Questions parents and teachers ask
Do ladybug spots show how old it is?
No. That is a common myth. The number of spots depends on the kind of ladybug, and some kinds have no spots at all.
What colors can ladybugs be?
Most are red or orange with black spots, but some are yellow, pink or black with red or yellow spots.
How can I use ladybug pages for math?
Ask kids to count, add or match spots. Younger children can draw a set number of spots, and older ones can make addition problems from the two wings.
