Bat Treat Cup
Find out how to use a tin can to make a treat cup that looks like a bat.

Materials Needed:

  • Tin Can
  • Paper Plate
  • Paint
  • 2 Wiggle Eyes
  • Tacky Glue
Instructions:
This bat treat cup is made the same way as the Cat Treat Cup!

Paint the outside of the tin can and the entire paper plate black. Once the paint is dry, cut the paper plate in half. Along the straight edge of half the paper plate, cut a scalloped edge like this (you might want to fold the half of paper plate in half to get a more even cut):

   

Paint a mouth on one side of your can and add the wiggle eyes (you can also paint on eyes if you like). Once the face has dried, glue the wings on the opposite side of the can. Let the glue dry before you move it around!


Fill your bat can with treats for Halloween! (Be very careful for sharp edges!)
