This crochet pattern will instruct you to how to make the “Ladybug Counting game”! The ladybug game comes with two different games. First game kids will count the spots on the back of the ladybug and match to the correct leaf that will have matching color and number. Second game will have slightly bigger ladybugs and those ladybugs will have numbers 1-10 on there belly’s and kids can either put them in order or can count the numbers of spots on the ladybug then flip them over to see if they counted the spots correctly.

Look for a matching “Ladybug back pack” coming soon!

This pattern is written in English and uses U.S crochet terminology. This pattern is 9 pages long and includes instructions and multiple pictures by me and my testers, and you can always contact me if you have any further questions. The pattern is in PDF form. Pattern has been tested by multiple testers! Some pictures posted on the photos were from my testers! The finished product when using recommended yarn and hooks, the “leaf“ comes out about 8 inches long and 6 inches wide, ladybugs are about 2 1/2 or 3 inches wide on there belly’s or 4-4 1/2 across depending on which game you make (Size may vary depending on tension, I tend to crochet tight). Please make sure all items are secure or glued on properly before giving to young children and put up when not in use.
