How to Make Toilet Roll Bats
Download and print the bat toilet tube template. (Print the eyes on a fun, bright color!)
Cut the pieces out and set aside. Be mindful to cut the eyes with care.
Cut a piece of black (feel free to make the bat any color you’d like) paper the size of the tube that you are using. The easiest way is to wrap the paper around the tube, hold in place with a bit of tape on the back and then trim the excess from the top.
You may adhere the paper with more tape at the back or remove the tape and glue the paper to the tube.
Glue the features onto the bat. Cut fangs and black ears and glue in place.
