Cut out one section of the egg carton for the ladybug's body and paint it completely in a vibrant ladybug color.  Cut six tiny pipe cleaner pieces and glue them on as legs inside the egg carton container and secure them with tape.  You can bend the pipe cleaners so the ladybugs will stand up on their own.  Next, add googly eyes and antennae.
