Halloween How-To: Paper Bats

Get creative with the kids this Halloween with this super easy craft with supplies you probably already have around the house.

All you’ll need is the following:

  • Black construction paper

  • Scissors

  • Glue or a glue stick

  • Empty toilet paper tube

  • White paint pen

Measure out a 4 x 6'“ rectangle on you construction paper and cut it out.

Next cut out two small triangles, these will be the bats ears.

Lastly, trace out wings for your bat, these can be any fun shape so no need to worry. Try multiple wing shapes to give each of your bats a little more character!

Now let’s assemble our bat. Place glue on both short edges of your rectangle, and wrap it around your toilet paper tube.

Next glue the ears onto the inside of the toilet paper roll.

Then, glue your wings onto the back of the roll about 1/3 down from the top.

For the finishing touches, take your white paint pen and draw on eyes, a mouth with fangs, and markings for your bats ears and wings. Get creative with their expressions to add some additional personality!
