Halloween STEAM: Easy Origami Bat

Learn how to make an Origami Bat for Halloween. These Origami Bats are perfect as decorations, but can also be used as Halloween bookmarks or can be added to greeting cards. A great 3 for 1 craft.

Introducing basic origami skills, whilst making a practical craft and encouraging reading and following instructions. This easy Origami Bat is a perfect activity as a classroom activity – it can be gifted as a card or bookmark or to help decorate the walls.

PLEASE NOTE: if you have purchased the Valentine's Day Bat pdf, this is the same set of instructions. I re-uploaded it, as it was "hard" to find for Halloween. Please don't purchase it twice!
