I love helping in my daughters classroom every year for Halloween.
The Halloween candy holders are a great craft for kids to make at a Halloween party or get together.
Using paper plates to make this Halloween candy holder makes this kids craft super simple to create.
The bat character is perfect for a Halloween theme too.
Supplies:
Instructions:
1.
Paint the bottom of plates
Begin by painting the bottom of two heavy duty paper plates with black paint.
Let the paint dry completely.
Set aside the pieces you cut off the paper plates.
Create bat wings and ears
Take the two sections you set aside to create the bat wings.
Cut off a small section from the end of each piece.
Then cut out a triangle along the straight edge of the piece.
Save the triangle pieces to use for bat ears.
Place one of the wings in between the two paper plates.
Add a staple at the top and bottom of the wing along the rim of the paper plates.
Leave the sections above the wings unstapled.
Attach black ribbon
Cut a piece of black ribbon about 24-inches long.
Place one end of the ribbon in between the paper plates above the bat wing.
Repeat this step with the opposite end of the ribbon and paper plates.
Add eyes and draw smile
Glue large googly eyes onto your paper plate bat candy holder.
Now use a white chalk marker (or crayon) to draw a smile on your bat.
Add teeth
Cut out two triangle teeth from a white adhesive foam sheet.
Peel off the sticker backing from the teeth and place them onto the bat mouth.
Your paper plate Halloween candy holder is complete!
Now its time to fill your cute bat with your favourite candies.
