Origami Bat Craft

As my kiddos and I prepare for the upcoming Halloween holiday, my daughter and I have been hard at work making all sorts of fun crafts. After delving into the world of origami, she and I recently made some folded paper bats.

Step 1

Fold the paper square in half diagonally and crease.
