Create the Wings:
- Place your child’s hand on a piece of black construction paper and trace around it with a pencil.
- Repeat for the other hand.
- Cut out the handprints to create the bat’s wings. You can use the full handprint, or cut the thumb section off and use only the finger portion for the wings if desired.
