Egg Carton Bats

Posted 2013-10-14 by EricaL ⇒ follow
A fun recycled craft activity for kids of any age: egg carton bats. Great for Halloween. Younger children may need some help along the way, but older kids should be able to complete from scratch.

Egg Carton Bat


Time: 30 minutes
Age: Any Age
Level: Medium

Materials
  • Empty egg carton
  • Black paint
  • Googly eyes
  • String or wool
  • Scissors
  • Paintbrush
  • PVA glue
  • Glitter or stickers (optional)

    • Supplies


    Method
  • Paint the egg carton black with black paint and paintbrush, then leave to dry
  • Cut three egg cups in a row with scissors

    • Three egg cups


  • Cut an arch shape out of each of the side egg cups, these will become the bats wings. Also use the sharp part of a pair of scissors to make a hole in the middle of egg cup (younger children will need assistance here).

    • Bat wings


  • Decorate the bat. We used glitter mixed with PVA glue, which dries clear so you only see the glitter. We used sequins and some children used stickers.

    • Decorated bat


  • Finally stick on two googly eyes, and thread a piece of wool or string through the middle hole and tie in a knot underneath (younger children will need assistance here).

    • Completed bats
