Print and cut out the bat and graveyard craft templates. Paint the back of one of the paper plates black.
(Graveyard) Use the double-sided tape to place the graveyard template on the inner circle of the black plate and draw around the graveyard. Cut out the middle of the plate following the drawn lines.
(Sky) Paint the front of another paper plate blue. When it’s dried, add stars to your blue night sky.
(Bat) Place the bat template on the black thick card, draw around it, and cut out the paper following the drawn lines. Add eyes and a smile or teeth to your bat. You will need to put together two colored craft sticks and stick the bat onto one end.
(Moon) Draw a moon on the scrap plate and cut it out. Then you can glue it onto the rim of the black plate.
Lay the graveyard plate on top of the blue sky plate and place the bat with the glued sticks in between, then staple all around the two paper plates. Don't forget to leave a section at the bottom open so you can move the bat puppet from side to side.
