Oooh we do adore BATS!! Time for some Bat Crafts for Kids and Bat Crafts for Toddlers! I know some like to refer to them as rats with wings, but I think that that is rather unkind. I think bats are rather adorable. I don’t know what it is about them, but there you go… I am a bat lover! And as a bat lover, I am always on the look out for lovely bat crafts for kids – especially with Halloween around the corner, it is a great time to get bat crafty. It includes all sorts of fabulous Bat Crafts and Bat Printables (part of a great set of Free Halloween Printables!).
Even if Halloween isn’t your thing, Summer and Autumn are great times of the year to go bat spotting! So here are some of our favourite bat crafts from around the web! If you love Halloween, I know you will also want to check out our Halloween Crafts Preschool, as well as our great selection of PAPER Halloween Crafts for kids!
These cute Bat Crafts where first shared in Sept 2014 and have been updated and republished for your convenience!
