Handprint Bat Keepsake – Kids Craft Idea

Hi friends! With Halloween being just around the corner, I figured now was better than ever to share this SIMPLE kid craft idea that can be easily framed and turned into some “spooky” decor on the fly!

Today’s Handprint Bat Keepsake w/free printable template is super easy to make within minutes and it’s relatively inexpensive too. If you have a printer in your home – you are well on your way to pulling this together and creating a great keepsake to treasure for years to come {plus the finished piece fits nicely in a scrapbook too!}

In this post, I’ve included a FREE printable template, so all you need to do is print the file, grab some black paint and have your children add their handprints to complete the craft. It’s so simple, you have NO excuse NOT to do it!

So what are you waiting for? {I hope we didn’t scare you!} Just grab the freebie below and get to work on creating this Handprint Bat today! Then place in a frame for simple Halloween decor or in a scrapbook for safe keeping.

Whatever you do with it – I hope you enjoy making it with your child!
