Spring Craft for Kids - Recycling Craft - Bottle Cap Lady Bug
Ages 8 and older
What a cute lady bug crawling up the plant leaf. This project is not only fun but is also a good way for kids to recycle bottle caps that may have otherwise landed in the rubbish bin. Perhaps kids can create a set of these as table decorations for a spring fest, use them to decorate packages or cards or even create other types of bugs to compliment this bug.

4. Take a toothpick and dip it into white paint. Dot 2 eyes on the top black section to resemble eyes.
