On Saturday we had a play date. I don’t have a lot of outdoor activites to entertain the children and decided to get them to do a craft activity. Halloween is this week and seemed a good theme idea. These painted candle jars decorated with bats worked very well.
WHAT YOU NEED
1 glass jar
1 tea light candle (or a short candle)
craft paint or glass glaze paint
paint brushes
black paper cut into bat shapes
craft glue
TO MAKE
Paint the jars, we found that red and yellow paint worked best as the blue was a bit dark
stick on bats cut from black paper using craft glue
place a candle inside the jar
This craft idea would also work well for an October birthday party craft, I always like to do crafts at birthday parties as the children then take home what they have made instead of a party pack
