Washcloth crafts!
Here is a bat made with a purple washcloth with red foam board eyes or it could be a red bat with purple eyes. It could be used by a Red Hat Society for a Halloween party. Put a wrapped, chocolate treat in the tummy or a small bag of potpourri for a sachet.

The bats are pretty quick and easy to make. You should have plenty of time to make them for a classroom full of kids by Halloween. If you end up making white bats, glitz them up with glittered silver and gold foam board facial features. See the Albino Bat blog below. Also, for quick fangs, use the medium sized, white, glittered foam board stars -- just cut off the points of the star for the fangs. The stars might work better, especially when working with a group of kids.
Don’t forget to share the bat factoids in the book and in the TerryGami blog with the teacher. By the way, don't put any white noses on bats, though, that would represent a fungal disease that bats are contracting in the northeastern states during the winter months, while the bats are hibernating. Right now it is called the White-nose Syndrome and it has killed over a million bats. Scientist don't know exactly why yet. Sorry, not a happy factoid.
The soft cover version of the book should be out just in time for the holidays. It should be any day now. I have been checking and waiting anxiously for it to pop up online. Come on already!
Happy Crafting!
