How to Use These Ladybug Coloring Pages
To get started, just click on any of the images or links below. This will open a printable PDF version of the coloring sheet in a new tab. From there, you can download the file, print it out at home, or even color it digitally on a tablet like an iPad.

Fun Things To Do With Your Ladybug Coloring Pages
Ladybug Puppet on a Stick
Turn your finished ladybug coloring pages into puppets! After coloring, cut out your ladybug and glue it onto a popsicle stick or straw. Now you have a ladybug puppet ready for storytelling or a bug-themed puppet show. Add googly eyes for extra fun!
Ladybug Garden Mobile
Create a pretty garden mobile by coloring several different ladybug pages, cutting out the ladybugs, and hanging them from a circular hanger using string or yarn. You can hang your mobile in a bedroom, classroom, or even from a tree outside. Mix in leaves or flowers for a true garden feel.
DIY Ladybug Bookmarks
Color and cut out small ladybug shapes from your printable PDF pages. Glue them onto a strip of cardstock or laminated paper to make adorable bookmarks. Punch a hole at the top and add a ribbon to finish. These make great gifts for classmates or friends.
Ladybug Party Decorations
Planning a spring or garden-themed party? Use your ladybug coloring sheets to create decorations! Color, cut out, and tape the ladybugs onto walls, tables, or party cups. You can even make a garland by stringing them together with yarn.
Ladybug Matching Game
Print out two copies of the same ladybug coloring sheets, color them in pairs, and cut them out. Use them to play a matching game. Flip all the ladybugs face-down and take turns flipping two at a time to find matching pairs. This is great for memory skills and fun for all ages.
Create a Ladybug Storybook
Use multiple ladybug coloring sheets to tell a story. Have kids color each page and then write a short sentence at the bottom that tells part of a ladybug adventure. Staple the pages together to create a fun ladybug storybook!
Bug-Themed Paper Plate Craft
Color and cut out a ladybug from the PDF sheets, then glue it onto a paper plate. Use black construction paper to create legs and antennae. This craft makes a great display piece or classroom project.
Ladybug Window Clings
After coloring your ladybug, trace the design onto wax paper using a black marker. Fill in the colors using washable markers or paint, then tape the wax paper to a sunny window. The light will shine through your design just like stained glass!
Ladybug Crown or Headband
Use your coloring sheets to make a bug-themed crown. Cut out a strip of cardstock to fit around your head. Color and cut out ladybugs and glue them to the crown. Add antennae with pipe cleaners to complete your buggy headband!
Nature Hunt Tags
Print and color mini ladybugs, laminate them, and punch a hole at the top. Tie them to sticks or place them around your backyard or park for a nature scavenger hunt. Kids can search for the ladybug tags and check them off on a list.
Ladybug Greeting Cards
Fold a sheet of cardstock in half and glue your finished ladybug coloring page on the front. Write a sweet note inside and give it to someone special. These ladybug cards are perfect for birthdays, springtime wishes, or just saying hello.
Classroom Bulletin Board
Have each student color a ladybug and write their name or a fun fact on it. Use all the ladybugs to create a “Bugging Into Learning” classroom display. It’s a colorful and personalized way to decorate any school space.
Ladybug Puzzle
After coloring, glue your ladybug sheet onto a piece of cardboard or cardstock. Then cut it into puzzle pieces! The more pieces you cut, the harder it gets. Store it in a zip-top bag to use again and again.
