Why

Looking for the perfect party invitation for a little lady? Make an easy invite that is as cute as a bug!

Steps

1. Get ready to party in vibrant color! Cut two same-size ovals from Crayola Color Surge™ Paper.
2. Use Color Surge Markers to add a fun ladybug design on one oval. Write all the party information on the other oval.
3. Cut the ladybug design oval in half lengthwise to simulate wings. Lay the two wings on top of the party information oval with the decorated sides facing up.
4. Punch a single hole at the top of both pieces. Ask an adult to help insert a brad to attach the pieces. Place your ladybug invitation in an envelope. Give or send it to a friend for the "buzz" on your party!
