I use evaporated milk instead of regular milk. There's just something about ladybugs that really captures the imaginations of children. Perhaps it's their vivid red and black patterns, or maybe it's how harmless they are. When ladybug season arrives (spring and summer), celebrate this little garden critter with a craft that your child will love.
