Bat Crafts and Learning Activities

October 13, by Sarah White. Leave a Comment

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.

Want to learn how to draw a bat? Check out the step by step from the Noon Show.

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!

Do you have any bat-related activities you love to do with kids? I’d love to hear about them!

Candy Corn Learning Activities

Love it or hate it, candy corn is a graphic shape and fun colors that’s a great theme for learning activities around Halloween. Whether you use actual candy in your activities or just candy shaped or colored objects, there are lots of things you can do.

Preschoolers can make this easy torn paper candy corn craft from Thriving Home Blog, and a bunch of them would make a great bunting style classroom decoration.

Practice counting from 1 to 20 with the free candy corn counting cards printable from Primary Playground. You can use actual candy corn to count out the numbers, or try pop poms or buttons in orange and yellow if you don’t want to play with food in the classroom.

Get more candy corn math printables from Math Geek Mama. Her set includes counting to 100 with candy corn, candy corn counting mats and three-part puzzles with the number, the word and dots to count.

This Reading Mama has a great post from Tot Schooling all about using candy corn as manipulatives for fall activities. It includes free printables where you can use candy corn to trace the upper case letters of the alphabet, count to 10 using one-to-one correspondence, and build fine-motor skills by using candy corn to decorate a tree and a jack o’lantern.

Little Zizzers has more candy corn printables, including making patterns, math and bingo (perfect for a classroom Halloween party!).

Get young kids introduced to coding without a computer with this simple and fun candy corn coding activity from Forward with Fun. Print out the maze and use candy corn as your direction arrows to navigate the maze without running into any of the obstacles. Even with the relatively easy project kids are already learning the basics of coding such as directional inputs (and that diagonal is not an option) and avoiding redundant code.
