A simple science craft activity to introduce or review the life cycle of a bat.
Once the foldout is complete, the 2 halves of the bat are brought together, then are gently pulled apart to reveal the inside.
Use this hands-on alternative to a worksheet to support a lesson on mammals, life cycles, nocturnal animals or bats. You could also use it as a Halloween activity or in an interactive science notebook.
Print out a template for each child. You can use paper or card (paper is easier to fold but card is more robust).
There are 3 templates to choose from
- Colour, cut and fold.
- Colour, sequence the descriptions of the bat life cycle, glue, cut and fold.
- Colour, sequence the stages (with descriptions) of the bat life cycle, glue, cut and fold.
You’ll need coloured pencils and scissors. Glue is required if you are using the cut and stick options. You may find it useful to have a pre-made example for children who might require more of a visual cue for the folding.
Save printing costs by showing the folding instructions on a screen.
