Let’s get extra crafty and make an adorable Paint Splat “Bat In The Night” kid craft idea in honor of the NEW Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation movie that hits theaters July 13th!  We also have some great Fandango offers to share with you all today!

At Glued To My Crafts, we hope our crafty post becomes a great way for you to spend time with your child and build excitement right before you see the movie on the big screen!!!

In the Sony Pictures Animation Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation movie, you get to join your favorite monster family, as they embark on a vacation on a luxury monster cruise ship. Drac has high hopes that this will be a summer vacation for him, from providing everyone else’s vacation at the hotel. In the movie, it’s smooth sailing for Drac’s Pack as the monsters indulge in all of the shipboard fun the cruise has to offer, from monster volleyball to exotic excursions, and catching up on their moon tans. But the dream vacation turns into a nightmare for when Mavis realizes Drac has fallen for the mysterious captain of the ship, Ericka, who hides a dangerous secret that could destroy all of monsterkind.

And with ALL the excitement revolving around the Hotel Transylvania 3 movie release on July 13th, my son & I were recently inspired to make a “paint splat” craft in honor of the BIG day!

We think our “bat in the night” craft idea is the perfect way for you & your child, to join together for a fun day at home, crafting and building excitement for your movie night out. Plus when you incorporate Pop Secret popcorn and Lance crackers in your crafty plans, you are sure to have an EPIC time!

So my dear friends, are you ready for the tutorial? Keep on scrolling! Be sure to also check out the bottom of the post for more details on how YOU can take advantage of the current Fandango promo offers when you buy participating Pop Secret popcorn and Lance crackers products!

Happy crafting, my friends!!!

Paint Splat “Bat In The Night” Craft Supplies:

* Free Printable {download HERE}
* White Cardstock
* Color Printer
* Gray Cardstock
* Craft Scissors
* Various Colors of Craft Paint
* School Glue
* Baby Wipes
optional – glitter, sequins, rhinestones etc.

Directions:

* Please make sure you have a good working area that can get dirty because paint may squeeze out of the sides of this craft.
* First things first – download and print the FREE bat template above on simple white cardstock. You will need one “bat” template per craft.
* Go ahead and use scissors to trim out the bat in the printable.
* Before you discard the remaining white cardstock, cut out a simple circle shape for the moon of the craft. Then discard the leftover paper and set aside your bat & moon cutouts.
* Next up – fold a single sheet of gray cardstock paper in half {you need one gray cardstock piece per “bat in the night” craft.}
* Now unfold and squirt some paint on one side of the gray paper. A few squiggles of paint is perfect. No elaborate designs needed either. I recommend no more than 2-3 different paint colors for this step though.
* Once the paint is down, go ahead and carefully re-fold/squish your paper together again. Be sure to rub your hand all over the folded piece, so the paint will cover your the inside nicely {paint WILL more than likely squeeze out the sides, so be sure to pay attention to that and clean up paint with baby wipes!}
* Now, gently unfold your piece to reveal your colorful “night” design inside.
* If desired, add star shaped glitter on top of the design, before the paint dries.
* To finish the Paint Splat Hotel Transylvania 3 craft, grab your bat and moon cutout, along with the school glue. Place some glue on the back of each piece and lay them on your paint splat design, anywhere you like, to secure them in place.
* Add other embellishments you see fit, before displaying proudly for all to see!
