DLTK's Halloween Crafts for Kids:
Bat Treat Carton

This makes a wonderful container to send home treats after a Halloween party at school, daycare or your home.  Or make a few of these special treat containers for your good friends and deliver them while you are trick or treating!

bat Container Craft

Materials:

  • an empty 2 L (1/2 gallon) milk carton, 
  • a printer (optional), 
  • glue or tape, 
  • scissors, 
  • black construction paper

Instructions:

  • Print out the template of choice.  We made the pieces just by cutting them out of construction paper, but you're welcome to use the templates! 
     
  • Cut out the pieces.
       
  • Cut the top off a milk carton and discard the top (or save it for a different craft).  You can cut off as much of the top as you like... it depends on how tall you want your container to be.
      
  • Cover your milk carton with black construction paper (it takes about 2 pieces).
      
  • Tape or glue the wings onto the back.
      
  • Tape or glue the eyes, mouth, fangs and ears onto the front. 
      
  • Cut out a strip of cardboard or construction paper about 10 inches long and glue to the sides of the container to use as a handle (or use the template piece).

Templates:

  • Close the template window after printing to return to this screen. 
     
  • Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
