Kindergarten Ladybugs

Kindergarten students got an introduction to SYMMETRY in the form of ladybugs. coloring page ladybug
They were given this handout from artforkidshub.com showing only half of a ladybug. Students took their time and looked for shapes and lines to help them make their ladybug symmetrical. They were told to DRAW LIGHT UNTIL IT'S RIGHT with a pencil, then trace the pencil lines in sharpie. Coloring was done in crayon and did not have to be realistic. 
Due to the very small legs, students cut around their ladybugs in a circle to ensure no limbs were accidentally cut off. Then everyone took a piece of green construction paper and folded it in half, drew half of a leaf, cut on their line, and opened it to reveal a full leaf for their ladybug to live on. Students were amazed at the easiness and perfection of their symmetrical leaf.
