I read The Grouchy Ladybug to my kindergartners and they simply loved it. Afterwards, we discussed the physical characteristics of a ladybug.
As an art activity, I provided copies of a ladybug with a plain shell. The assignment was to color the shell red-one of the physical characteristics they noticed- and to cut it out. Next, they punched holes in the shell with a hole puncher. They then pasted the ladybug on a piece of black construction paper. This created the black spots on the ladybug. A few students had a hard time cutting out the legs and so I allowed them to cut out the body and head. They drew in the legs with white chalk. It was a fun activity and the students loved it.
