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.
