Suggestions for use:

Have students create a ladybug themed pocketbook using 11x18 construction paper where they can store all of their activities from this unit. An example is included on page 2 of this resource. I also highly recommend using this mini unit as a compliment to a "LIVE" Ladybug study! The Ladybug house I use and larvae I purchase are linked in the resource.
