Bat Craft for the Kids

My friend's children were extremely happy since they were able to ask for candies in their dad's office / company. It's the company's Kindergarten and I heard they walked for almost one hour.

Originally, we planned to carve pumpkins in the afternoon. However, I didn't know that yellow pumpkin like those in the States was really hard to find here. So, I had to look for other things to do online. Actually, I didn't have to but I liked to do something too. It's Halloween. :) Therefore, I searched online for some craft. I found this Clothes-pin bat on Disney's website.

Here is the link. http://familyfun.go.com/halloween/halloween-crafts/halloween-decorations/clip-on-bats-665015/

The website didn't have the template at all. I had to make one myself. It's pretty simple. I attached my template here. If you wanted a smaller or bigger bat, you could draw one yourself. 



Materials:
Cardboard for template
Black Craft paper
Scissors
Glue / Double Side tape
Pinch-style clothespins
Googly Eyes / Yellow or Red Paper

Instructions:
  1. For each bat, cut an extended-wings shape from black craft paper using the template.
  2. Next, cut out an oblong body with pointed ears and feet, and glue it onto the wings.
  3. Add round, beady eyes cut from yellow or red paper / googly eyes. 
  4. Then glue / tape a clothespin to the back of the bat, and it's ready to hang on a curtain.
