Styrofoam Cup Bat - Halloween Craft

Black Bat Halloween Craft Tutorial For Kids

One of our favorite children’s book series around here is “There Was An Old Lady.” There’s no real rhythm or reason to the stories BUT they ALWAYS get some good belly laughs out of my little one.

Recently we added There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Bat by Lucille Colandro to our collection {perfect for Halloween} and I just KNEW we had to do a kid craft in honor of it {cause that’s just how I roll around here!}

This spooky twist on the wildly popular “There Was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Fly” is perfect for fun Halloween reading!

What won’t this old lady swallow? This time around, a bat, an owl, a cat, a ghost, a goblin, some bones, and a wizard are all on the menu! This Halloween-themed twist on the classic “little old lady” books will delight and entertain all brave readers who dare to read it!

So what are you waiting for? Don’t go BATTY! Grab those simple craft supplies and start crafting up this Styrofoam Cup Bat with your child today! Happy crafting {and reading} my friends!! Please don’t forget to share pictures of your bat creations on our Facebook page to admire from a far this Halloween season! #gluedtomycrafts
