Kid's Halloween Bat Craft (and Dancing Prop)

These little bats with streamers make the perfect prop to dance with at Halloween

What you need:

black cardstock

crepe paper streamers

tape

Trace the bat pattern below onto the cardstock and cut out the shape. 

Cut about 5 or 6 streamers that are about 2-3 feet in length, and attach them to the back of the cardstock with tape. 

I made this with my preschool music class.  We danced to this song:  http://youtu.be/r9y4r-VI_qY?list=PLFA9C3648CDCA747C

This is also a catchy tune if you want to discus echolocation and how bats get around: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAvoz_ofoeo

The streamers even make a "wing flapping" sound which the kids thought was pretty cool!
