On the eve of Halloween, Halloween bats are everywhere.
HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS
On the eve of Halloween, kids are out trick and treating, looking for spooky Halloween decorations, diy Halloween bats and ghosts and seeing lots of Halloween bats hanging up in their neighbours’ front porches and gardens everywhere.
Yes, fall is fast approaching, and the stores are bursting with lots of Halloween bats décor but there are plenty of fun Halloween activities for pre-schoolers and older children to make. Many kids are hurriedly finishing off making their own Halloween diy bats as well as checking out which new bat Halloween costume to wear to their Halloween Party.
It’s so much fun to dress up for Halloween while being surrounded by many different diy bat Halloween decorations.
This year my kids decided they wanted to make their own Halloween bats, but they were not sure exactly how to make Halloween bat drawings. However, I was able to come to the rescue with these Halloween bat drawings and they were able to make their own homemade Halloween bats to hang on our front porch, along with many other Halloween decorations.
These diy Halloween bat decorations are super easy Halloween bat crafts for everyone to make. They are not only cheap but will help to make your entryway and garden a little spookier for Halloween.
HALLOWEEN BAT DRAWINGS
BAT TEMPLATE
Halloween bats can be difficult to draw freehand, so I have created an easy bat template of 2 different Halloween bat drawings that I think you will like.
For this Halloween project to create four diy Halloween bats, you will need to print two sheets. This printable template will assist you to trace and then cut out four Halloween bats from the two printed Halloween bats template pages.
The Halloween bats template is free to download.
