Paper Plate Handprint Bat – Kids Craft Idea For Halloween

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!!! Don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s finished paper plate bat, on our Facebook page wall, so we can give you both a virtual high five from a far! I can’t wait to see what you make this Halloween season! #gluedtomycrafts
