going batty

Posted on October 12, 2010 by ashley | 0 Comments

Second Saturday Art for October was all about Halloween! Need a fun, affordable activity for the kids? Make bat puppets or "bat-mobiles!"

Supplies: black construction paper, white pencil or crayon, scissors, black string, hole puncher, twigs. (trace bats ahead of time for the kids to decorate then cut out)

Step 1: Decorate the bats
Step 2: Cut out the bats
Step 3: Punch a hole between the bat's ears
Step 4: Tie one end of the string to the bat, the other around the twig

The final product!

"bat-mobile"

Other fun projects for Halloween we did at Second Saturday Art:

Ghost Lollipops. Just wrap a lollipop in tissue paper, paper towel, or tissue. Tie at the neck, and draw a ghostly face on it!
