STEP 1
First, you will need to get an empty egg box and some scissors.
Cut off the lid so that you are left with the side that holds the eggs.
Make sure that you have an adult to help you out with the cutting.
STEP 2
To make the body of your bat you will need to cut along the center of the egg box.
Make sure you have three empty egg cups on each side.
STEP 3
Now that you have your body, it’s time to make the wings. Use your scissors to cut small triangles out of the outer egg cups.
Don’t forget to cut the back two pieces to make it level.
STEP 4
Then you will need to paint your bat and leave it to dry. Don’t worry about being neat, you just need to cover the inside and outside with black paint.
TOP TIP - Put some newspaper under your bat because the painting can get messy!
STEP 5
Make your own eyes using some white paper and a felt tip pen.
It’s up to you how scary you want to make your bat and you can use any materials from your home to decorate.
STEP 6
Finally, to hang your bat you will need to tie some ribbon around the top. To do this you will need to make a small hole using a pencil and some tack.
please be careful when you do this and have an adult to help you.
There you have it! Your very own hanging bat, just in time for Halloween...
