Ladybirdz



Ladybirdz Teaching Notes

*these don’t have to be ladybirdz, they work beautifully as beetles too and all color restrictions disappear

*demo the straight version first then let them all make a sample. The on-point version can be quickly demonstrated later

*some student have problems with trimming the ladybirdz to their initial shape - it is usually their brain wiring that is different, (spacial concepts), they probably aren't good at jigsaws either! When I demonstrate this section I take it slowly and talk them through it, telling them basically to cut off the top and bottom corners but leaving a flat side area.
