We are head over heels about Halloween craft ideas (check out our simple movable Halloween crafts or have kids make zombie cards), it’s one of the most fun holidays.
Once your kids are done with crafting, they can also color our Halloween coloring pages or even learn how to draw a bat.
Now, let’s create some batty Halloween magic!
How to Make the Halloween Bat Craft
What you need:
- printable template
- pencil
- scissors
- glue
- coloring supplies (markers, crayons or coloring pens)
- color paper for bat (black works great but kids can use any color)
Step by Step Tutorial
The Bat Template
Print out the Halloween bat craft template and have the kids color it. They can start wherever they like. We colored in the frame first.
Coloring makes a great fine motor excercise.
They can color the stars in yellow or go with any other color they deem fit the stars to be.
The bat will have a red tongue.
And a pink mouth.
Next come the eyes. Yellow looks great for the eyes.
It’s time to start coloring the bat’s head. This bat can be black or any other color.
The feet can be black, too.
The Bat’s Body and the Wings
Have kids cut out the two bat parts for tracing. You can also print the sheet with multiple pieces on it and skip the tracing part altogether.
The Body
Have the kids trace four or more circles on black paper.
Then, cut them out.
The Wings
They need to repeat the process with wings by tracing two of them on black color paper.
They will have to cut the wings as well.
The Halloween bat craft template can be used as is or you can also have the kids cut out the outer outline.
First come the wings. Apply glue to the end of the wings and stick them inside the circle on the template.
To create the 3D bat’s body, have kids fold all circles in half.
The body parts are ready.
Have the kids apply glue only on one half of the folded circle and glue it to the template’s circle.
Then, they need to add glue to the folded part of the circle.
And glue another circle half onto it.
Have them repeat the process for all of the folded circles and glue the last one to the template.
This bat looks fantastic!
Where will you display it?
Have fun coloring and crafting!
