Paper Cup Bat

"Bats are such cool animals. They sleep upside down, they're nocturnal, and they use echolocation! Your kids will love making this bat craft and flying it all around the house. It's a great Halloween decoration too! Simple enough for anyone to make, you could easily make an entire flock of these cute little creatures to display all over the house. You'll just need small paper cups, black paint, and craft paper! Googly eyes optional, but always more fun! Pair this craft with your favorite book about bats to extend the learning fun. "
