Cute Bat DIYs for Kids of Any Age
Bats have fuzzy faces and tiny feet that hold on tight while they nap upside down, so it's no surprise that so many kids think they're the cutest part of Halloween. These five cute bat DIYs work for the whole family, from preschoolers to tweens. Little ones can glue together a paper plate bat with a painted grin. Kids 5 and up can pull a string to make a puppet's wings flap or wind up a paper bat that hops off the table. Older kids can grow crystals over a pipe cleaner bat with a grownup's help. A paper cup telephone rounds out the list with a look at how sound travels, which is how bats find their way in the dark. Bat Week runs October 24 to 31, so there's time to make all five before Halloween.
