Paper Bag Handprint Bat Craft
Handprint crafts are always so inviting and sweet, even if those handprints make up the wings to all black bats. This Paper Bag Handprint Bat Craft is all of that, along with being so fun and especially easy. It’s a perfect last minute Halloween craft decoration!
We do love our handprint crafts. Those little handprints are only so little for such a short time. I wish I had made more when my oldest was this little. It’s such a great way to not only celebrate the season and holiday, but also celebrate this age and stage. It’s all remarkably sweet, and I try my best to embrace it as much as I can. This time, with handprint bats.
