Fairy tale
Once upon a time there lived a Little Ladybug in a sunny meadow, and she was so forgetful, carefree... No matter what she was asked, she forgot about everything, was distracted, did not care and did not help. Her mother will send her grandparents to visit, and she will look at the chamomile meadow, doze off on the flower, and wake up when it gets dark and fly home, forgetting about her mother’s request and about her relatives. The only thing she did not forget about was to admire herself and her back, bright red with black spots, in the mirror every morning.
And then one morning Mom says to Little Ladybug: “Tonight we will have guests, we need to treat them with something. Therefore, you need to fly to grandma bee and take some flower honey from her. Just don’t forget under any circumstances, don’t get too carried away, don’t get distracted by anything.” “I won’t forget, mom,” answered Little Ladybug.
And the mother, knowing her daughter, decided to tell her a legend about how naughty, forgetful and uncaring ladybugs lose spots on their backs. But Little Ladybug interrupted her mother and did not let her finish the story, saying: “I told you I won’t forget...” and flew away.
All the way Little Ladybug repeated to herself: “We must not forget, we must not forget, we must not forget...”, but suddenly she met her friends who were playing tag, flying from leaf to flower, from flower to blade of grass. They invited Little Ladybug to play with them. She thought: “What could happen if I play for half an hour…”, she agreed and started playing. When the sun began to set behind the horizon, all the girlfriends scattered to their homes, and Little Ladybug remembered that she had to remember something, but she never remembered.
She flew home when it was already dark, the guests had left without being treated to the flower honey. Mom was very upset and offended by Little Ladybug, and when she went to bed, she took red paint and painted over all the black spots on Little Ladybug’s back to teach her a lesson.
The next morning, Little Ladybug went up to the mirror and froze: her back was all red, there was not a single black spot on it. She was confused, upset, sad, and then completely cried, because she loved her spots so much and treasured them so much. And then she remembered the legend that her mother told her the day before and how she interrupted her and did not listen to the end. She was very ashamed and she never dared to approach her mother and find out how the legend ended and how she could get her spots back. Little Ladybug put on her black polka dot raincoat and left the room.
On this day, my mother asked me to fly to the garden where her dad was grazing aphids, take him something to eat and pick up a jar of milk. Little Ladybug silently agreed, smiled through force, pretended that nothing had happened and flew to her dad. On the way she met her friends again, but refused to play with them, flying past a chamomile meadow she didn’t even look at the flowers, and when she arrived in the garden she didn’t play with aphids, but immediately flew up to her dad, fed him, chatted, took the milk and went home to mom. She was very tired from such a long journey and when she arrived home she immediately lay down and fell asleep. Mom felt sorry for Little Ladybug, because she fulfilled today’s request and wiped off the paint from one spot.
Morning Little Ladybug woke up, sadly walked up to the mirror and a smile immediately appeared on her face - there was a bright black spot on her back! She put on her raincoat and joyfully ran to her mother. “Mom, mom - how can I help you?” - Little Ladybug asked without waiting for requests. On this day, her mother asked her to simply collect nectar from peonies growing nearby. Little Ladybug flew out of the house at that very second, she collected full buckets of nectar in a couple of hours and barely brought them home - the mother was very happy and surprised, and when her daughter told her that she also helped the neighbor’s daughter on the peony bush - ladybug to collect nectar for her grandmother, mom was just happy! When Little Ladybug fell asleep in the evening, her mother carefully wiped off all the paint from her back and all her black spots became visible again.
The next day, Little Ladybug woke up very early and immediately ran to the mirror... Her happiness knew no bounds! Since then, Little Ladybug never forgot about what was asked of her, she always helped everyone, took care and did not get distracted from business, and she also realized that first you need to do what you promised, and then have fun.

Little helper
Once upon a time there lived a ladybug who treated herself and the world around her with love. Despite the fact that our heroine was small, she never considered her height, weight and size to be some kind of terrible disadvantage. She always said: “I do everything in my power, and I have enough strength to make this world a better place!”
Ladybug was a caring creature. She helped her planet in any way she could. If I saw pieces of garbage somewhere, I removed them, thereby cleansing my native land. If I saw that a flower was drying up, I would definitely carry dewdrops for it until it got drunk and came to life again.
If someone needed her help and she could help, she was always happy to do so. Because she knew that the planet was her home, and the cleaner and happier it was, the more joyful and pleasant it would be for our ladybug to live in the world.
One day, a ladybug got caught in heavy rain and got its wings wet. They were so wet and heavy that she couldn’t even move. After several unsuccessful attempts to take off, our heroine quietly cried from powerlessness. Suddenly a little caterpillar heard her and asked the ladybug:
- Why are you crying? Maybe I can help you with something?
“My wings are wet, and I can’t move,” the ladybug answered, sobbing.
Then the caterpillar picked up a dry leaf from the ground and wiped the ladybug with it, and then covered it with another leaf to keep it warm. When our heroine’s wings dried up, she was very happy and thanked her savior from the bottom of her heart. And the caterpillar only told her:
- Nature is also grateful to you for your work. You always helped us all, so no one would leave you in trouble.
Since then, the ladybug realized that her kindness and indifference always return to her in an even greater size. Now she took care of the world around her with even more enthusiasm and love, despite her weight and size. After all, everyone can do something good for the planet that they can do!

Ladybug Stones
Samodelkin
This craft is very easy to do. You don’t need to have great artistic skills and talents to complete it, so even children can handle it with the help of their parents. Such a bug pebble can decorate a flower pot and simply become an element of interior decor.
For the craft you will need:
smooth oval-shaped pebbles acrylic paints: black, white, red, yellow, dark brown, burnt sienna, yellow ocher brushes: medium and small flat, small round, eyeliner (liner) pencil and sealing varnish Work progress:
1. Make a pencil sketch on the stone, as shown in the figure. Then we outline the contours with black paint using the tip of the brush.
2. Apply a base of white paint to the wings with a small flat brush. The next layers, already colored, will be much brighter from this.
3. Paint the body with some dark brown color (burnt umber works well) and with a lighter color (for example, burnt sienna) add a series of stripes on the brown body. Then highlight the center of each stripe with yellow ochre. Light and shadow are the most powerful tools for making the features of animals clear. The tonal contrast between dark and light areas enhances impact and adds realism to your entire work.
4. Paint the wings in bright colors. You can use orange, made by mixing red and yellow. Apply paint in two layers. Next, paint the black dots on the wings with a small round brush. Do not try to make them completely round; this does not happen in nature. Now you can paint the rest of the stone with black paint.
5. Draw the head (a small circle with white paint). Two white dots for the eyes and an oval for the mouth - that’s the whole face.
6. Now, using a white liner (or just brush No. 1), draw two hook-shaped antennae on both sides of the head. The picture shows where to paint the two extended wings with liner and white paint. Dissolve some white paint in water to create a transparent color. The lower wings that we are drawing now are so transparent that the ladybug's body can be seen through them. Paint the lower wings using a small round brush.
7. Use liner and white to draw veins on the clear wings. Now the ladybug is finished. Cover it with varnish to protect the stone. Change colors to create beetles to your liking.
If drawing still seems difficult to you, then try this simplified version:
Here are more examples of stone painting:
Now we will make a turtle out of stone.
And now the drawing is more complicated.

Natalya Leshukova. A TALE ABOUT THE LADYBUG.
This story happened in ancient times, when all animals on earth were colorless, but the whole other world: plants, water, mountains and the sun were painted in bright and rich colors. So, at that time there lived one small colorless bug, which everyone simply called: Cow. One day Korovka had a daughter. Unlike the others, it was not colorless, but bright red. Mother Cow was upset: “You are not my daughter. Get away from me. Look for another mother." The daughter Cow began to cry, but there was nothing to do. I flew to look for my mother. She flies over a motley meadow and sees a beautiful red Rose. The Daughter Cow climbed onto a tall blade of grass and began to ask Rose: “Rose-Rose, am I not your daughter?” Rose smiled arrogantly: “Look how strange, beautiful and fragrant I am. And you are so small. Why do I need such a daughter? The daughter cow cried again, but there was nothing to do, she flew on. She flies over the edge of the forest and sees a large, pot-bellied red Currant sitting on a bush. The Daughter Cow screamed at the top of her lungs: “Currant, currant! Am I not your daughter? Smorodina smiled sourly: “Look how round and beautiful I look, but sour inside. Why do I need a daughter? I’m already good.” The daughter Cow began to cry, but there was nothing to do - she flew on. She flies over a fast river and sees the red Sun come out from behind the mountain. The Daughter Cow was delighted and shouted cheerfully: “Red Sun!” Am I not your daughter? The sun smiled sadly: “Sorry, Cow! But I have so much to do, I need to warm everyone up, shine light on everyone. "Cow sat down on a tree stump in the middle of a cheerful clearing and cried: "Nobody needs me. Why was I born into this world, so red?” But then a clear voice rang out: “Don’t cry, Cow! God sent me to you to comfort you.” It was a beautiful Angel with golden hair. The angel stroked the Cow and said: “God told me to tell you not to be upset. God has many children, all created creatures on Earth are His children. And you are also His creation, His daughter. God loves all of his children, and you especially. So from now on, your name will be Ladybug!” Oh, how happy Ladybug was here, she danced with joy. For a long, long time, Angel and Ladybug spun in a cheerful dance. But then the tear-stained, colorless Mother Cow flew in and began to ask Ladybug for forgiveness. Ladybug forgave her and asked God to paint Mother Cow bright red. At the same time, God painted all the other animals. And God gave the Ladybug, for her kind heart, seven black circles so that they would remind others of seven important qualities: kindness, hard work, forgiveness, wisdom, harmony, joy and love, which are inherent in the Ladybug. Since then, Ladybug has had seven shiny black spots on her red back. She still lives in such a beautiful outfit and brings people benefit and joy.
