You'll need
Directions
- Paint the front side of a paper lunch bag with black paint, then set it aside until fully dry.
- From black cardstock, cut two bat wings and two triangle-shaped ears. From white cardstock, cut two small teeth.
- Once the painted bag is dry, attach the wings to the sides, the ears to the top, and glue on two googly eyes.
- Use a white chalk marker to draw a mouth on the bag, then glue the white teeth onto the mouth. For a friendlier bat, kids can skip the teeth.
