Bring a bit of Halloween fun into the classroom or your learning activities at home by learning about bats and making bat crafts.

We’ve probably all read the book Stellaluna, right? Make your own hanging bats with clothespins and basic supplies you probably already have at home with this tutorial from BabyCenter.

Surviving a Teacher’s Salary has a great little printable ebook on how a bat grows.

Use this upside down bat writing and coloring page to write bat facts or a story about bats. This one is from AZ Coloring.

And Miss Giraffe’s Class has a set of writing prompt printables for fall that includes bats as well as a haunted house, magic potion, spiders, cats, frogs, witches and trick or treating (among others). These are sure to get kids writing!

Earth Day Printables and Activities

I know doing printables for Earth Day doesn’t sound very eco friendly, but it does give you a chance to talk to kids about how you can make the classroom or the home a little greener by only printing what you need, using low ink or only black and white printing, printing on the back of other pages, using recycled paper and recycling what you can when you are done.

These Earth Day printables help kids learn about Earth Day or use earth designs.

Pre-K Pages has Earth Day math printables, including a dice rolling game with a recycling theme, graphing, number grouping and sequencing activities.

123 Homeschool 4 Me has a variety of printables for Earth Day including writing prompts, plant life cycle worksheets and links to other activities.

A Dab of Glue will Do has a little printable emergent reader book that explores the basics of Earth Day and some things we can all do to be kind to the planet. You can print it in color or black and white and have kids color it themselves.

Speaking of coloring pages, Preschool Mom has a collection of coloring pages with color versions that you can use as posters in the classroom as well as having kids color the black and white ones.

I love all the printable hands on activities from Differentiated Kindergarten, which help kids build fine motor skills with an Earth Day twist. You’ll find printable mats for use with playdough, geo boards, snap cubes, pattern blocks and Legos, as well as a Q-tip painting activity. You can get these when you sign up for emails.

Here are a few more quick printable Earth Day activities for your kiddos:
