    Adorable Halloween Bats

    Bats! These winged creatures might be associated with haunted tales, but in our craft room, they're nothing but delightful. Their fluttery bat wings, tiny eyes, and the fact that they fly around at night make them a symbol of Halloween time!

    Crafting with bats, especially with young children, adds a fun twist to the Halloween story. Instead of the eerie tales, imagine reading your favorite book about friendly bats, with your own crafted bat puppet in hand. It's the perfect craft to transition from a crafty afternoon to bedtime stories.

    You've still got the spirit of Halloween there but at a pace that the littles can handle!
