Instruct the children to stuff the small paper sacks with newspaper. Fold down opening, and staple to top of the bag.
Punch holes on the left and right side of the paper plate. Tie yarn into both holes. Place paper plate face down onto the top of each child’s head and measure the proper length of each piece of yarn. Yarn should be long enough to tie together under the chin of the child.
Cut out two wings from black construction paper. Adhere to each side of the bat’s paper bag body.
Adhere wiggle eyes or instruct the children to draw a face on the bat. Be sure that the bat’s face is the bottom flap of the bag.
