Paper Bat Craft

Supplies

• Colored cardstock or construction paper
• Scissors
• Glue
• Bat template (enter your email in the form at the end of this post to have the link sent to you)

Directions

Download the bat template, print, and cut out the pieces you need.

Begin by gluing the eyes to the middle of the circle body.

Place the triangle teeth underneath the eyes and glue them in place.

Create the bat’s wings by gluing the largest triangle to the top right-hand corner of the rectangle.

Next, glue the other triangle to the left of the triangle you just glued down. Take the 2nd triangle and glue it to the left of the last one.

Repeat the last two directions with the other wing, starting in the top left-hand corner and gluing the other triangle to the right.

Take the completed wings and glue them to the back and middle of the bat’s body.

Finish up the bat by gluing the triangle ears to the back and top of the body.

Isn’t this such a cute little Halloween bat?!
