Free Printable Bat Template
We’re so excited that we are nearly in October.
As soon as October 1st rolls around we’re busy pulling our Halloween decorations out of our attic so we can start decorating for the spooky season.
My daughter decided that it’s the perfect time to up our decoration game using paper bats. The goal is to create an accent wall featuring dozens of these nocturnal animals as a focal point.
So, I got to work creating this free printable bat template for her to use.
What I came up with his a collection of free printable bats in a variety of different sizes.
She’s been having a fun time creating a variety of cute bats with googly eyes to decorate our home for Halloween.
