Kids’ Craft: Bat Pumpkins

by: keighley

Stage your own spooky scene by assembling a colony of these winged bats made from miniature pumpkins and craft foam.

Materials

Black acrylic paint
Ornamental (miniature) pumpkins
Black & White craft foam
Hole punch
Glue dots
Black duct tape
Toothpicks
Wooden skewers
Wint, ears & eyes template

Instructions

Paint miniature pumpkins completely black with acrylic paint. Allow them to dry completely.
For each bat, choose a style of wings and eyes from the template. For the eyes use the white craft foam and the hole punch to make pupils. Adhere the eyes to the pumpkin with glue dots.
Cut a matching pairs of ears and wings from the black craft foam (wings should be no longer than 6 inches). Attach the ears by taping a toothpick to the back of each one, leaving about 1 1/2 inches of the toothpick exposed, then inserting it into the top of the pumpkin.
Finally, tape a skewer to the back of each wing, leaving a 2-inch point exposed, and push it in place.Craft via Familyfun.go.com

Quote of the Day

by: kiersten

Tonight is the night
When pumpkins stare
Through sheaves and leaves
Everywhere,
When ghouls and ghost
And goblin host
Dance round their queen.
It’s Halloween.
