The main characters of the holiday

Well, who in childhood, having accidentally caught a ladybug, did not sing, dancing on one leg: "Ladybug, fly to the sky, are your children there, eating sweets?" Probably everyone did it! And now this cute, invented by an "unknown author" rhyme is repeated with pleasure by kids. And adults - seeing such a picture - always smile with affection. That is why I had the idea to organize in the bosom of nature (in the natural environment for a ladybug) a wonderful children's picnic party that would delight (amuse, make happy!) Both children and adults. Are you with me? Then, let's start preparing!

PREPARATION FOR LADYBIRD HOLIDAY

1. Invitations to the feast of "Ladybug"

Do you know what I liked most about preparing for our holiday? That's right, make invitation cards! Incidentally, I belong to the category of "lazy mothers", I try, as much as possible, to buy everything you need for the holiday ready-made. But! I decided to make invitation cards for my baby's birthday with my own hands! It's just that they are too simple, even I, far from any "hand-made", decided to try! And ... got a lot of pleasure! So, I share my experience!

What do you need?

2 sheets of red cardboard in standard format and one each black and white;

20 cm red ribbon (sewing accessories);

Black marker, scissors, glue.

How to make a postcard?

1. Fold a sheet of red cardstock in half (horizontally) for the base of the card.

2. Glue a black cardboard rectangle to the front of the base (trim the edges so that they are 0.5 cm less than the base).

3. On top of the black rectangle - glue the white one (also less by 0.5 cm at the edges).

4. From the second half of a sheet of black cardboard, cut out: a semicircle (d 5 cm) for the head, a circle (d 10 cm) for the body, and 6 small circles (d 1 cm) for dots.

5. Cut a circle out of red cardboard (d 10 cm) and cut it in half.

6. Assemble the ladybug: in the middle of the finished base, glue a large black circle-body, a little higher - a semicircle-head. Cover the joint line with two red semicircles-wings. Glue black dots to the red wings (three for each wing). Draw antennae with a marker.

7. Glue a red bow at the top of the postcard. Ready! Great job, right?

By exactly the same principle, you can make other variations of postcards on the theme of a ladybug.

For example, if you attach the wings with iron buttons (or - tying with a ribbon in a black and white circle) - your ladybug card will be able to "fly".

Or you can even write the text of the invitation inside the ladybug - attaching the head with antennae and wings using the same metal button.

You can also "plant" a ladybug on a green leaf. It will turn out very original too!

If you want to make invitation cards more individual, special, you can use a photo of your little birthday girl to make them. ;

And when signing postcards, do not forget to indicate: the date, start and end time, the place of the holiday, and what little guests need to take with them. For example, you may need a rug to sit on it in the forest, or mosquito repellent (if the child is allergic, for example). After all, comfort and safety are the main thing in any holiday, and especially in a children's one!

2. Decoration and decor of the place for the "ladybug" holiday

Before you start decorating the place of the future holiday, you need to think about what is closer to you: the classic style of a ladybug (sustained in a red-white-black tone), or a more creative option, using other colors, just stylized as a ladybug? I advise (and I know from my own experience that this approach gives more options for decor and room for imagination) to use stylization. Children, after all, are very fond of bright, joyful colors! And for us adults, it's not at all difficult to make everything that surrounds them cheerful, right? So, my version of the festive decor for the kingdom of the ladybug:

Surely, on sale you will not be able to find balls-"cows". Therefore - advice: buy ordinary pink (red) balls and several rolls of black colored paper to independently decorate the decoration with dots and antennae of ladybugs.

Make stretch marks from the flags (preferably using polyethylene as the material, as paper or cardboard flags will quickly tear in the wind). Choose a flower color, in a black and white circle (strip).

Make small ladybugs from walnut shells, or other scrap materials (painting them with black and red gouache) and attach them to bushes or lower branches of trees, or to tree cuts, in grass (so that kids can get them on their own). We use these bugs later in the course of the entertainment program.

Since the main picnic item is the basket, you can fill it with candy and use it as the base for your welcome banner. Install it at the "central entrance" on your festive meadow and write: "Ladybug Ball - all here!" Guests will be pleased to receive a magical sweet surprise at the entrance.

The main hero of the occasion - Ladybug simply adores different flowers! They are her element, house, food. Therefore, try to decorate your festive meadow with many live flower arrangements. For example, from chamomiles, gerberas, lilacs, tulips, buldenezh, lilies of the valley.

Grass.

An interesting (however, no less characteristic of a ladybug than flowers) decoration is green grass. Place pots with delicate shoots in the clearing (it will be nice if on stumps) and stick sticks with paper flying insects into them.

Multicolored ribbons tied in pigtails flutter very beautifully in the fresh summer breeze, and a transparent fabric (tulle or chiffon) is inflated by a sail. Hang such a decoration in the place where you plan to feed the children - it will be very cool and unusual!

Blanket, pillows, rugs.

If your chosen place for a children's picnic is far from home, it is best to take rubberized felt rugs with you (for each guest separately) so that the guys can sit right on the ground (or on the grass, like real ladybugs). Or, get one blanket for all and small circle pads for each. If the holiday is planned to be held in the home garden, you can put a table and chairs.

By the way, I saw an interesting option for the decor of chairs. If you are planning a garden picnic - you will surely like this idea!

You can make such nylon wings yourself - by pulling a transparent strong fabric over the wire frame. The beauty of these wings is that they can be used for games in the future.

And a few more words about the decor of the festive table.

Tablecloth it is best to choose a red or pink color, it will be very elegant and typical for the girl's birthday.

Dishes it is better to buy a disposable one, but certainly in the style of a ladybug.

Table you can decorate with bouquets of fresh flowers, or you can lay out such plastic black and red buds attached to a cardboard base.

If you are planning, real picnic on the lawn, or forest glade - prepare these multi-colored hard rugs for your meal.

That's all there is to the decor. It's time for the princesses - ladybirds to get ready for the ball!

3. Outfits for little ladybugs

Such a narrow-themed holiday as the birthday of a little ladybug necessarily involves a dress code. Don't forget to tell the mothers of your guests! Well, for clues about costumes (and other cute details in the style of a cute insect) let them come to Dikmi!

So the costumes.

Ladybug outfit- this is certainly a red dress with black polka dots (sundress), possibly black tights or leggings and wings (nylon on the frame, or just a raincoat) behind the back. If you do not have a ready-made dress in a similar style at hand, you can improvise (this is how all the super resourceful mothers of my girls - daughter's friends did). For example, one of them decorated a pink velvet sundress with black stripes and pockets (on a self-adhesive basis) and a ladybug antennae. Look how lovely it turned out!

The other made it even easier. She put on a black top, leggings and a fluffy nylon pink skirt on the child. The girl was just an irresistible ladybug!

A shoe girls it is possible in such lacquered black and red shoes,

or decorate ordinary sandals (to which the child is accustomed) with cute homemade fabric flowers.

Small details and accessories play a very important role in the ladybug's outfit. For example, a girl must have antenna horns. You can make them by attaching thin wires with soft foam pom-poms to a black hair hoop, or you can simply buy them in a holiday paraphernalia store.

And also, hair of little yokes you can also decorate with such special flower hairpins, headbands and hoops.

Well, that's all the preparation! It took me neither more nor less - 4 days of time. And to be honest, I am proud of the work done! After all, everything around is so beautiful and festive! I would very much like to believe that you will succeed as well (and even better!). And about how the holiday itself went with us, and what an incredibly beautiful and delicious cake I treated my girls to - read in the next article!

Ladybug got up early. She couldn't sleep. Today is her birthday! Guests will come with gifts, they will congratulate her. The house will be filled with joy and fun. And most importantly - Ladybird is four years old! This means she will go to school.

Mom was busy in the kitchen, and Ladybug flew to her. Seeing her daughter, my mother exclaimed happily:

Dear daughter! It is your birthday today! I congratulate you on the holiday!

She attached another black dot on the wing of the Ladybug - the fourth. This meant that she was four years old. Now Ladybug had two dots on one wing and two on the other. Mom also gave her daughter a beautiful portfolio with notebooks, books, paints and pencil case ... Ladybug was very happy, because she so dreamed of going to school!

Thank you mommy! - exclaimed daughter and merrily whirled in the air.

Now help me set the table, - my mother asked, - your friends will come soon.

Ladybug flew around the house and helped her mother. She looked back at her wings all the time and rejoiced at the most valuable gift - a new dot.

So friends are rushing to the holiday. The Dragonfly has arrived. She congratulated the birthday girl and presented her with a daisy necklace. May Beetle followed. He presented Ladybug with a large fragrant bouquet of ripe wild berries. Komarik flew in and gave me a flashlight. The bee brought a bucket of fragrant flower honey. Colorful butterflies also arrived with colorful surprises.

Thanks! - Ladybird smiled happily. - I am very glad that you came to me for a holiday! I invite everyone to the table!

Friends sat around the table. They congratulated the birthday girl again and again, talked pleasantly. Only May Beetle behaved rudely. He interrupted everyone, shouted, buzzed for no reason. The butterfly that was sitting next to him whispered to him:

You, May Beetle, are behaving very indecently. You need to enroll in school. They will teach everything there. And good behavior too. I have been studying for a year now, and I can read and write.

And I don’t want to go to school! W-w-why do I need this ?! - objected May Beetle. - I won't go to w-w-school!

Then you will be illiterate. You can’t read, write, count, ”his friends kept repeating to him.

Not everyone loves insects, but it is difficult to find a person who would not like small bugs - ladybugs. We associate them with something cute, harmless. And the ladybug stands out against the background of its relatives with a bright beautiful color. It is this color - red with black polka dots that can be taken as a basis for decorating a children's birthday in the style of a ladybug. The black and red scale looks very stylish, it is quite versatile, so such a themed birthday can be organized for both a boy and a girl. The age of the child can also be any. As for girls, even at primary school age, you can make a holiday for a little lady in this style. With boys, things are a little different - if at 2-3 years old a little gentleman likes such a holiday, then at an older age he will consider this topic not serious and will require attributes in the style of cars or robots for his holiday.

Well, now let's figure out exactly how to organize a ladybug-style holiday and spend it. Let's consider in detail each item of the organization.

Let's look at two options for creating them - ordinary rectangular cards and invitation cards in the shape of a ladybug.

The standard option is a rectangular or square postcard with a picture of our insect. To somehow diversify it, the ladybug can be cut out separately and glued to the card - this way the invitation will look much more interesting and original. And you can also decorate such a card with ribbons, beads.

Well, an option for those who love to create and surprise guests - postcards in the shape of a ladybug. Here, too, there can be different variations - we attach the wings separately or cut out such a shape so that the wings bend. Here are some postcards for inspiration:

Room decor

The place where we will celebrate the holiday also needs decoration. For those who do not want to bother, the easiest way is to decorate the walls with garlands of paper circles in red and black. If you want to make a more original decor, you can supplement such a garland with small paper bugs, flowers, pompoms.

Stretch marks can also be from the usual triangular elements, and from the figures of ladybugs. We decorate the insects themselves with bows made of ribbons, and between them we hang paper flowers to match.

Chinese paper lanterns can also turn into ladybugs - just attach or draw black dots to them. You can complement such a flashlight with a bright chamomile.

Balloons and paper pom-poms create a festive mood. You can also decorate them yourself in the theme of the holiday. And to do this is quite simple - we draw dots on the balls with a black marker, and we turn the pompom into a beetle if we attach a paper muzzle and paws to it.

A modern children's party will not do without volumetric letters and numbers. They, like all other festive decorations, are painted red and painted with cute black specks. And to make them look more interesting - we complement them with small black antennae and eyes. Antennae can be made from either paper or wire, and eyes are sold in stores with sewing accessories.

The image of a birthday girl or birthday boy

Since everything is more or less clear with boys - trousers, a shirt, a bow tie. A bow tie or tie in red and black tones will add thematicity to the image.

Let's take a closer look at the image of the birthday girl. A bright, spectacular image is a fluffy tulle or chiffon skirt, a T-shirt or a T-shirt with a ladybug. You can also dress up the little hero of the occasion in a bright red dress, complementing it with black accessories: a belt, a bow.

An ideal option for such a themed holiday, if you find or sew a dress made of red fabric with black specks, then it will be clear for sure that this is a small ladybug. A hairpin with a red and black bow or a crown on a headband in red and black tones will help to complete the image.

Guests

To make our guests also resemble little cute bugs, we dress them in caps of the appropriate color or in hoops with cute horns. Guests can also be asked to wear something red. This color is quite popular, so surely everyone has at least one red item in their wardrobe.

Festive table

You can decorate the table both in the standard red and black colors for such a holiday, or diversify it with white or green. With a white tablecloth, the table will look more elegant, and with a green one - it will resemble a summer lawn.

It is not difficult to find red disposable tableware on sale, but red napkins are not so uncommon. Red plastic glasses are complemented with black dots to better match the style of the holiday.

Even dishes for a festive birthday table can be decorated in the style of a ladybug. Here are a couple of simple ideas: sausage and olives sandwiches, crackers with cherry tomatoes and olives.

Candy bar

The color scheme of the candy bar is the same as the rest of the decor, with red and black colors prevailing here. In this range, we select a tablecloth, tableware, napkins.

I would like to dwell in more detail on what will be served in the candy bar. You can surprise your little guests with a creative presentation of fruits and berries. We decorate the strawberries with chocolate icing and it becomes like little ladybugs. You can also lay out the shape of an insect from strawberries or any other red berries, and make black dots from blueberries, blackberries or black currants. If children usually give preference to sweets, then with such a serving, fruits will not go unnoticed and will become a favorite treat.

You can also serve gingerbread, painted in the style of a ladybug, muffins covered with red icing and chocolate. Sweets will be decorated with toppers with the image of cows.

The minimum assortment of drinks at the party is juice, fruit drink or compote and plain water. We choose red juice or fruit drink - cherry, strawberry, raspberry, so that it fits into the overall design of the sweet table, and we stick a label on it that informs the guests that this is not juice at all, but the nectar of a ladybug)

We decorate bottles with drinking water with labels depicting our insect.

And of course, a sweet table will not be complete without a cake. Here are some holiday-themed cake ideas:

Photo collage, photo zone

For a birthday in the style of a ladybug, prepare a collage of photos of the birthday girl or birthday boy. And to make such a thematic photo collage, place the photo against the background of a large cardboard ladybug, or make a collage in the form of a stretch of beetles, each of which has a photo attached.

To decorate a photo zone, a few red and black decorations are enough - balls or pompons. You can also take pictures against the background of a red wall or red fabric.

An original idea that even a child can implement is a photo stand with a ladybug. Against the background of such a stand, not only children, but also adults will be happy to take pictures.

Entertainment

Lost points

You will need a large image of an insect without dots, black paper circles. Blindfolded children are trying to return the dots that she has lost to the lady.

A similar competition with a leaf and ladybirds, only in this version it is necessary to plant insects on a leaf.

Crafts

The idea is not new, but quite appropriate for a ladybug-style holiday. For its implementation, a minimum of materials are required - nut shells or sea pebbles, paints, brushes. Little guests will be happy to create a whole family of cute bugs for you.

Tic-tac-toe

This is not a traditional option, but the principle of the game is the same. For the game, you can use beetles made during the previous entertainment. You will need a board lined with 9 cells and beetles of two colors. The winner is the one who is the first to line up a row of beetles of the same color.
