around 25 to 30 minutes
Always supervise children when using sharp tools.
Carefully cut the bottom off your black paper cup. This is where the confetti will burst out later.
Take a deep breath and give the balloon a little puff. Then let the air out again and tie a knot at the end.
Chop off the top third of the balloon. This will be your magical launcher that sends the confetti flying!
Gently stretch the balloon over the open end of the cup. It’ll look like a tiny tail poking out.
Wrap tape or washi tape around the balloon edge to hold it in place. Keep it snug. Your confetti-popping Bat Craft needs a strong base.
Time to fancy it up! Cut a slim strip of black paper and glue it around the cup using your Pritt Glue Stick. Stick the strip around the base like a mini collar. This bat is dressing up for Halloween!
Use the template to trace flappy wings, pointy ears, and cute little teeth! Colour-code your paper: black for wings, pink for ears, white for the snappy little fangs. This part makes your Bat Craft project super cute.
Give the wings a gentle fold. Now they look like they are ready to fly through the night!
Time to give your bat a cute little face! Stick on the eyes, teeth, and ears. The more expressive, the better.
Now attach the wings. Glue them along their fold lines to each side of the cup.
Nearly finished! Fill the inside of your Bat Craft with a generous handful of colourful confetti until it’s nicely packed.
