Learn how to make the cutest coffee filter bats for Halloween!
These are so easy, budget friendly, and FUN to make for kids of all ages.
Youll be bleeding markers (easy), painting, and gluing.
I distinctly remember the first time I saw a bat in real life.
I was nine years old, and we lived in New Fairfield, Connecticut.
We had just moved there from the Pacific Northwest.
And there were bats.
I was just a kid.
And no, he (she?)
was not being held hostage.
An itty bitty bat with a little pig nose!
Nothing like the bats of my imagination, with wings like a pterodactyl and teeth like a vampire.
I almost wanted to keep him as a pet.
BUT alas, he flew back to his tree or nest or wherever he lived.
It was a pretty cool experience.
And this year, I decided to make somecoffee filterbats in remembrance of my little buddy.
Not only for that reason, but also because they are a really cuteHalloween kids craft.
And super fun to make!
It doesnt take much to make these bats.
I had some coffee filters left over from thewreathI made; actually quite a few of them.
Then I also had clothespins left over from someclothespin crafts.
Youre starting to see how this project came together.
Gotta love that!
The littles get to dye the coffee filters with markers, and they just love watching the colors spread!
Heres what you better make them.
