This rock craft can be made harder or easier depending on the age of the child who is making it. For younger children, have all the pieces cut for them ahead of time and use white glue to stick them on. For older children, have them cut out the bat parts on their own and use a hot glue gun (with adult supervision).

How to make this bat rock craft:
First you need to start with some rocks, clearly! I really like these flat river rocks for painting from Amazon. It can sometimes be hard to find the perfect flat rock for craft projects and so these rocks make it easy! But if you want to go out rock hunting just be sure to wash the rocks that you find thoroughly before using them for your project.
Supplies needed:
- 1-2” river rock
- Black paper
- White paper
- 2 googly eyes
- Hot glue gun
- Hot glue sticks
- Magnet
Cut fang shapes out of white paper and glue them to the front bottom of the rock. Glue the googly eyes to the front center of the rock. Cut wing shapes out of the black paper and glue them to the back of the rock.
Glue a magnet to the back of the rock. Tip: be sure to use a strong magnet as the rock may be heavy and could slip off of your metal surface.
This bat is adorable and makes the perfect craft for any time of year!
