How adorable are these leaf printed bats?! I can’t recommend trying this one out enough – they’re so much fun to make!
Here is everything you’ll need:
- Leaves
- Ours are off of a maple tree that we collected off the ground in our yard. If you don’t live by trees you can find faux leaves at almost any craft store!
- Black, white, and blue paint
- White paper
- Colored paper for background (optional)
- Glue
- Googly eyes
- Paint brush
- Q-tip

Directions:
- Start by painting your leaf black. I painted the smooth side of the leaf & used a decent amount of paint.
2. Press your leaf – paint side down – onto your paper. Peel them right up to reveal your bat print!
3. Use your paint brush to add a cute smile and teeth.
4. Glue on two googly eyes to each bat.
5. Add black and blue dots in the left over blank spaces. We added ours using a q-tip!
6. Let everything dry & you’re finished!
These turn out so adorable – I hope you & yours kids have fun making your own!
Reasons why I love this craft:
- Minimal supplies needed!
- My kids went on a “leaf hunt” outside to find the best ones.
- Different results every time – so much fun to see!
