Egg Carton Bats

ages 2-6

Supplies

Empty egg carton, black paint or markers, googly eyes, red pipe cleaner, black construction paper, scissors, glue, string

Activity Detail

Create these spooky bats to hang around your house. Begin by cutting off one cup of an egg carton. Have your child paint it black and then glue on googly eyes and a red pipe cleaner or yarn mouth. Next, cut two wings out of black construction paper or poster board. Help your child glue to the egg carton, towards the back of the bat's "body." Once the bat is dry, you can attach a string to the top to hang it around your house -- doorways and windows are especially spooky places for bats to fly!
