What to do

  1. Wash the pebble and dry carefully.

  2. Use the pencil to draw your design on the pebble.

  3. Use paints or permanent pens to colour in your design and leave to dry thoroughly.

  4. When the paint is dry, take a clean brush and carefully cover the pebble in PVA glue or varnish to make it weatherproof. Leave to dry.

  5. Place your lovely ladybird in your garden. Why not decorate some more pebbles as different animals or insects?
