Today I’m going to share a Paper Plate Handprint Bat kid craft idea that is super simple to pull together in honor of the upcoming “spook-tacular” holiday.

This DIY craft is perfect for little ones that want to get in on the fun but it’s not so scary that you will be dealing with nightmares afterwards.

It also includes all my favorite kid craft supplies {tissue paper, a simple paper plate and even those precious little handprints} so the budget is relatively low too.

Are you ready to learn how to pull this easy craft together? Let’s grab our supplies and get to work!

Happy crafting my friends!!! #gluedtomycrafts

Paper Plate Bat Craft Supplies:

* Small Paper Plate
* Black Tissue Paper
* School Glue
* Scissors
* Black/White Cardstock
* Stapler
* Fun Halloween Eyes
* Pencil

Directions:

* First cut your black tissue paper into small squares. Set aside.
* Put a good layer of glue all over the small paper plate.
* Have your child place the black tissue paper on top of the glue, until the paper plate is completely covered. Set aside to let it dry.
* Now grab your pencil and black cardstock. Trace/trim out two handprints for the bat. Set aside.
* With the left over cardstock, cut out two triangle ears and fangs for the bat.
* Staple the ears and handprints to the paper plate.
* To finish off the Paper Plate Handprint Bat and give it life, glue on the eyes and fangs in the center of the bat’s body. Then display proudly!!
