Direction
Download the bat template, print and cut out the pieces you need.
Begin to create the bat by gluing the inner ears to the bat’s outer ears. Next, take the eyes and glue them a little below the ears.
Place the nose in between the eyes and glue in place.
Take the vampire bat teeth and glue them just below the nose. If your bat is light colored you can use a black marker to draw on a smile as well. For the black one we left it off, but you can see what we mean on the purple version.
Glue a foot on both of the bottom corners of the bat body.
Finish off the vampire bat by gluing the wings to the back of the bat’s body.
Isn’t this the cutest vampire bat ever? We’ve always thought bats get a bad wrap for being gross, but we sure think they’re cute and very cool too!
