Explore time and sequencing with these Free Grouchy Ladybug Activities and clock crafts.
The Grouchy Ladybug by Eric Carle is a wonderful way to teach our children about telling time, sequencing, and size as well as the importance of a good attitude, forgiveness and sharing. As we follow a very rude ladybug on her journey, she encounters a new animal each hour that she tries to pick a fight with. Of course the animals get bigger and fiercer as we continue through the story and she returns home tired and hungry. The friendly ladybug welcomes her back and they enjoy a tasty meal together.
Today, we extended our read aloud with these fun Grouchy Ladybug activities featuring a crafty ladybug themed clock and story sequencing cards.
