    Now, it's time to get creative: provide your child with crayons, markers, or even paint to decorate your bats. They can make their paper bat craft unique with wild colors and fun patterns or color it more traditionally.

    Then, give your little ones some child-friendly scissors and have them carefully cut out the bat. Use a glue stick or tape to assemble the bats, and hang them around the house.
