Turning Kindergartners into Lady Bugs

I usually play with some form of sticks and strings while I wait during K's bass lesson, or piano lesson, or orchestra practice, or,... basically I wait a lot, but It's cool cause, sticks and string make me happy and never fail to start interesting conversations. Usually with small children who are dying to know what I'm doing and could they try.

This week I was sewing black dots on red shirts for the little kids in K's school play. Her bass teacher looked over at my pile of fabric and asked what I was doing. I said I was turning kindergartners into Ladybugs. He smiled and said "Black magic or costuming?" You be the judge.
