This challenging ladybug coloring activity will keep children occupied on their travels while letting them experiment with modern art.
Coloring and doodling is great for developing concentration and hand eye coordination as well as exploring color, shape and pattern. It’s relaxing for parents too! Why not join in if you are on a plane or a train? Talk about where they live, what colors they are, whether they walk or fly. Let your imagination take over and make up your own species! Or teach your little ones about lovely ladybugs.
This travel art can be done in:
- Cars
- Planes

- Printed Lovely Ladybugs template
- A variety of colored pencils, felt tip markers or crayons
- Colored gemstones or stickers – optional
Directions:
- Print out the Lovely Ladybugs activity sheet.
- Put all drawing materials in a plastic lidded box ready for transporting. Give your children a tray to work on.
