Ladybug Birthday Theme Ladybug birthday party ideas for kids. Fun ideas for games, invitations, decorations, activities, food, favors and more!

Ladybug Landing
Before the party starts cut large leaves out of poster board or felt about 1 foot long. Make one leaf per guest.
Set the leaves on the floor of the area you will be playing in. Tell birthday guests that they are going to pretend to be ladybugs. While the music plays they will fly around the room, but when the music stops they must find a leaf to land on and stay there until the music plays again. 
If you are giving away prizes:
Buy small prizes - enough for each guest. 
Number each prize and on the back of each leaf write the number that corresponds with the a number you wrote on the prize. 
After the last round of the game ask the guests to pick up their leaves and they will find a number on the back.  Then give them the prize that matches their leaf.  

Ladybug Party Activities
Make fun ladybug antenna’s with headbands, pipe cleaners and Styrofoam balls. Let the guests paint picture frames green and then paint on ladybugs. An easy way to make ladybugs is to have them dip their index finger in red paint and make dots on the frame. Then come back when dry with a small paint brush and paint on the dots, eyes and antenna’s.

Decorate clay pots with red and black paint. Then fill with dirt and a few flower seeds.

Ladybug Pets
Find or buy smooth flat stones before the party.   Try and buy enough so that the kids will have a choice on the rock that they will paint.   Set out black, white and red paint and paint brushes and let the guests paint their rocks to look like ladybugs.  Give them googley eyes to glue on their ladybugs.  They can name their new ladybug pets too.  

Or after icing the cupcakes red place them in a circle on a plate. Place Oreo cookies for spots and use string fruit rollups to divide the wings and antenna.
