Crafting with kids not only fosters creativity but also strengthens the bond between parents and children. With just a few materials, you can turn empty toilet paper rolls into adorable bats that will delight your little ones. This tutorial will walk you through every step, making it easy and fun for kids of all ages to follow along.

Craft Supplies:

Before we get started, gather the following materials. Don’t worry if you don’t have everything on hand; improvisation is part of the fun!

  • Toilet Paper Roll
  • Stapler
  • Paint Crayons
  • Cardstock Paper
  • Large Cupcake Liners
  • Scissors
  • Small Googly Eyes
  • Jumbo Popsicle Sticks

Directions:

Clear a table and cover it with newspaper or a plastic tablecloth. This will make cleanup easier and keep your workspace tidy.

  • First flatten out your cardboard tube and staple it on each end, to make a rectangle shape. This will be the bat’s body.
  • Go ahead and use your paint crayon to “paint” one side of the toilet paper roll.
  • Set it aside for now.
  • Now grab your TWO large cupcake liners.
  • Flatten them out with your hands and fold them in half.
  • Use the stapler to secure the pieces, so the liners won’t come apart. These will become the bat wings.
  • Next grab your sheets of cardstock paper. Cut out fangs and bat ears.
  • We are now ready to start assembling! Grab all your elements along the stapler and glue.
  • Start off by stapling the jumbo popsicle stick, to the back of your flattened cardboard tube. This way you can hold him like a puppet.
  • Follow that up with the wings and then his face & ears.
  • Finally, add other embellishments you see fit before displaying/playing with your  proudly!!!
