Paper Bat At Night Craft
There’s no right or wrong way to do today’s chalk art bat in the night craft idea! All it takes is some rubbing of Crayola sidewalk chalk on some paper and the free bat printable I’ve included in the supply list below!
To complete our super fun and rather easy chalk art bat flying in the night craft, you will only need a few pieces of yellow and white chalk, dark colored cardstock paper and the free printable I have designed specifically for this post. That’s it! We are talking CENTS to complete your own colorful Halloween night piece!
Did I mention even adults can participate on this one?! You could easily make it a family affair today! Plus no two “spooky night portraits” will be the same {kinda like the real deal!}
So what are we waiting for?! All the details and free bat file can be found below. Just like my past chalk art tutorials, this one is really easy to start within a matter of minutes and completes just as fast. It’s my promise!
