Did you know...
There are nearly 5000 different kinds of ladybugs.
If you squeeze a ladybug it will bite, but the bite doesn't hurt.
Ladybugs won't fly if the temperature is below 55 degrees.
Ladybugs chew from side to side instead of up and down like the rest of us.
Some people believe...
If you find a ladybug in your house during the winter, you will have good luck.
The number of spots on a ladybug is the number of children you will have.
If you are sick when a ladybug lands on you, when it flies away it will take the sickness with it.
The life cycle of a ladybug is between 4-6 weeks.
Crafty Ladybugs:
Get large, dried Lima beans, paint them red and use a black Sharpie to draw on the Ladybug's spots.
These are super fun to use as game pieces or tools to teach counting.
Don't forget...
When a ladybug lands on you, make a wish, and it just might come true!
is this the teacher in you coming out or what!
love those dirtly little fingers too!
they just scream BOY!
