We often think of bats as creepy creatures that we only consider during Halloween, but bats are such cool creatures that they deserve our respect and taking time to learn more about them.

If you need help with facts about bats to get you started, check out the free with email printable fact sheets and parts of a bat coloring booklet from Willa Bean and Co.

Learn about different kinds of bats and label the bats and the parts of the bat with these printables from Living Life and Learning. These are free when you share your email. Only Passionate Curiosity has bat printable worksheets that include anatomy, life cycle and journaling pages for bat facts and learning about different kinds of bats.

I love these activities from Inspirational Laboratories where they have actual size photos for kids to measure and photos with items taped to them to represent the actual weight of the bat. Check out the post for the weights they used and more fun ideas.

For less literal bat learning, practice tracing lines with these worksheets from Living Life and Learning.

And of course we can’t resist some bat crafts, so why not make a hanging bat with a little help from the printable bat wing template and instructions from Buggy and Buddy. These are so cute and easy to make. If you want something with more of a spooky Halloween twist, try the moon and bats salt painting idea shared by My PreK Box.
