DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Handprint Bat Craft
Yet another craft that uses handprints (I love 'em!!). You can
really make any animal with wings this way, but it's always nice to have
a printable template on hand for the rest of the critter.

Poems on the site if you would like to include one with the craft. |
