Now is the outline in a medium size! I love this one for crafts too. Having a variety of sizes gives you different options to use one template or a bunch of sizes.

This bat is to trace on paper and make a cut and paste bat craft. Trace it on black paper for the body. Gray for the feet. White for the eyes and teeth. Then pink or gray for the nose. Really you can use any colors. I think I might want a purple bat!

Next is an even simpler bat craft! All you need to do for this is cut out the pieces and glue them together with a glue stick. Bend the wings along the flap and tape them to the front of the body to make them pop out. You can also make it a bat puppet by adding brads and poking holes in the wing and body on both sides. Kids can also glue it on to a painted Halloween backdrop.

Bat Craft Ideas

 

There are so many fun ways to use these templates. Here are just a few ideas!

Make a marble bat craft! Put shaving cream in a disposable baking pan or on a large paper plate. Then add globs of paint in different spots. I like to choose 2 or 3 colors. Then swirl the colors and shaving cream together with a toothpick or plastic fork. Dip the bat paper in the shaving cream on one side smoothing it down. Then lift up the paper and dab or squeegee the extra paint off.

Next a tissue paper bat! Put glue on the bat outline or large bat template. Add small squares of black or purple tissue paper. That’s all easy peasy!

Bat wand! I love making wands and so do kids. Use a wooden dowel or paper straw for the handle of the wand. Then tape the back of the template to the paper straw. Add streamers, tissue paper, or tinsel to the bottom of the back. Then you have a cute bat wand!

A bat hanging upside down! Use a paper straw, wooden dowel, or stick. Use any side of bat outline you want. Paint or color on the bat and add googley eyes. Then add pipe cleaners for the feet. Wrap the pipe cleaner around the stick and let the bat hang up.
