Shape Bat Craft

Sharing is caring!

This shape bat craft is a great Halloween activity for kids to practice 2D shapes during the month of October. While I created the craft for preschoolers and older kids, my readers mainly use it with kindergartners.

The bat template comes with big patterns, easy for little hands to scissors cut and glue together.

I created the bat craft right on time for Halloween but it can be used any time of the year for a bat study unit and paired with bat facts.

If you are a teacher and use the craft for Halloween, I am sure it will make a beautiful bulletin board or classroom decoration.

The six shape crafts included are: circle, square, rectangle, triangle, oval and hexagon.

These bats are a great addition to our shape crafts. Why not combine math and crafting if we can do it in a fun way?
