Bat Painted Rocks

If your child loves drawing on rocks or is just starting out on their rock drawing adventures, try drawing a bat on a rock!

This is a great Halloween craft to do with kids and it’s easy to make.

This is a great project to get kids excited about rock painting as it is a beginner project and the end result is really cool.

If you’re making this craft for Halloween, make sure to give the bats big fangs – making them vampire bats (adding a drop of red to the fangs will make them even cooler).

This is a short project, so it’s also great for the classroom – really frugal if you have access to rocks near you.

Any bat fan would love to make this craft, especially in the fall when bats are more easily seen in the evenings and at night.

Once you’ve done it the first time, you won’t be able to stop and soon you’ll have a cauldron of bats (that’s what a group of bats are called!)

So are you ready to get crafting with us?

How to make bat shaped painted stone

What you need:

  • stone
  • Acrylic color of your choice
  • Googly eyes
  • comb
  • a sheet of colored paper that matches the acrylic paint
  • a sheet of paper of your choice (we used yellow)
  • drag
  • white cardboard
  • hot glue
  • pencil
  • circular object

Step by step instructions

Take a rock and cover it with acrylic paint.

We used black for our stick. Let the paint dry.

Take two fake eyes and glue them to the rock with hot glue.

On the white cardboard, draw a tiny mouth with two sharp teeth showing.

Use scissors to cut the mouth out.

Apply some hot glue and glue the mouth to the bat’s body.

Draw two small wings. We use black cardboard to make the wings.

Cut out the wings and glue them to the back of the body with hot glue.

On yellow cardboard, draw a circle using a circular object.

Cut out the circle.

Glue the bat to the circle by applying hot glue to the back of the bat.

Here it is!

I hope you enjoy this project.
