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!
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).
