Bat puppets are folded and cut in bat
shape. White reinforcements are used for eyes and a mouth with fangs
is drawn on. To make it into a puppet, staple a scrap strip of paper
to the back on each side of the fold. Don't staple this piece flat;
leave a bit of play in it so the child's hand can fit inside.
Halloween is an appropriate time to
introduce the _at word family (bat, cat, fat).
Bat
erasers, purchased from Oriental Trading, are available in several
colors and can be used for math sorting, patterning and graphing
activities.
