Another wonderful kids Halloween crafts uses merely a simple egg carton preferably a card one. Take and cut out three of the cups leaving them attached together. With the two outside cups, cut out the fronts to simulate wings. If you want, you can paint all of it black and then draw on a frightening bat face or attach googly eyes with white glue. Punch a hole in the apex of the middle egg cup and fasten a string that's knotted on one end. Then hang from wherever you want!
