Supplies you’ll need for your Bat Crafts For Kids and where to find them:
- Orange and yellow acrylic paint – https://amzn.to/2VnH0BW
- Black construction paper – https://amzn.to/2WEi7Cy
- Foam stamping brushes – https://amzn.to/3ijwLru
- Scissors – https://amzn.to/3C7yzvt
- Safety Scissors – https://amzn.to/37d8SLI
- Pencil
Step one: Drawing out your bat stencil
Here you’ll fold one of your pieces of black construction paper in half, long way, or hot dog style. Let your young crafter draw half of a bat at the fold in the paper as shown in the picture. This way when you cut out the bat and open it up, you will have one symmetrical bat! Kids can use the safety scissors to cut out the bat, or you can do it for them.
Step two: Get your paints ready for your bat crafts for kids
In this step, you’ll get your paints ready and your stamping foam brushes as well. My daughter used just one brush for her paints and she really liked the way the yellow and orange mixed together to form variants of both colors.
Step three: Hold the bat!
Tell the young crafter to hold the bat down on the other black piece of construction paper so it doesn’t fly away! Hold on to the bat good! Use the stamper to stamp in to your paint and stamp around the bat! Leave enough paper clear to make a second bat.
After you’re done stamping around the first bat, have your young artist gently pick up the bat and move it to a second spot on the paper. Stamp around this one too! After you’re done stamping around the two bats, you can stamp in the blank space in between to fill it with your brilliant Halloween colors!
Let those beauties dry! The hardest part is letting the paint dry. Luckily, acrylic paint dries fairly quickly, so you won’t have to wait long to display your spooky bat crafts for kids!
