Bats Painting

Here is a simple little craft we did during our Bat week!

LB(4) loves it when we get out the paint! 

Supplies:

• 1 piece of white paper
• 1 piece of black construction paper
• Washable Paint (also called finger paint, tempera paint, or poster paint)
• Black
• Yellow
• Craft foam
• Scissors
• Glue

Craft Time!

• Squeeze some black paint on a paper plate for your child. Give them the white paper and a paintbrush and have them go at it--painting the entire paper BLACK! This is a painting of a night sky.
• Clean the brush off, and squeeze out a little yellow paint. Have them dab the brush in the yellow and dab it on the black paper to make "stars" in the sky. 

•  Let it all dry (this may take a few hours or overnight)

• Meanwhile, get your bats ready:
• Fold the edge of a black piece of construction paper over slightly.
• Draw half a U shape with a pointy top (for the body), then draw a wing.

• Cut them out in squares (so they're easier to cut out).

• Then cut out the drawing and unfold them. Bats!

• Once the paint is dry, have your child glue the bats onto their painting.
• If you want, you can cut out a couple small pieces of craft foam to glue on the back of each bat. This will help them pop out a little bit from the painting.

And there you have it!
