Halloween is one of our favorite times of year to get creative. My kids love decorating the house with spooky crafts and silly creatures. We always pull out the glue and construction paper and craft together. It’s such a fun way to spend time as a family.
This torn paper bat craft is perfect for a fall afternoon. It doesn’t require any fancy supplies. Just print the bat template, tear up some paper, and start gluing. It’s simple, relaxing, and perfect for younger kids.
I love how this craft turns out. The torn paper gives the bat a cool textured look. It doesn’t have to be neat or perfect, and that’s what makes it fun. Every bat ends up looking a little different, which makes each one special.

How to Make a Torn Paper Bat
Step 1: Print
First, print out the bat template on a regular sheet of 8.5” x 11” paper. I like to use cardstock so it’s a little sturdier, but regular paper works too. See link below.
Step 2: Tear

Next, grab some construction paper and start tearing. My kids love this part. There’s something satisfying about ripping the paper into pieces.
Step 3: Glue

Now it’s time to glue. Use a glue stick to start covering the bat outline with the torn paper pieces.
Once the bat is covered, let it dry. Then hang it on the fridge or on the wall to decorate for Halloween.
