Easy Halloween Craft for kids ~ Yarn Wrapped Bat

Make quick work of decorating your home for Halloween this year by enlisting the help of your little crafters. We had so much fun creating these adorable yarn bats. If you craft cupboard looks anything like mine, you will have everything lurking in the there somewhere!

Materials Needed:

Cardboard Circle ~ with notches cut into it.
Black Yarn
Googly Eyes
Glue
Black Paper
Black Paint

Use our printable bat template, or have the kids draw their own.

The kids had so much fun making creepy crawly Yarn Wrapped Spiders and our adorable little yarn bees. So following the same model we used for making bees and spiders, we created a fun Halloween bat.

How to make a 5 minute bat Halloween decoration.

Paint the cardboard body black, and once it is dry have the kiddos wrap it with black yarn. The notches in the cardboard will keep the yarn from slipping.

Glue on bat wings and large goggly eyes. If you want, you can add more string to the back to act as a hanger. We made a few of them and hang them upside down in our front window.
