Halloween Bats

Created by Jodi Levine

Supplies:

• Mandarins such as Wonderful Halos mandarins
• Food coloring marker
• Scissors
• Black heavyweight paper or card stock
• Paring knife or clean craft knife
• Adhesive dots

Instructions:

1. Draw jack-o-lantern faces onto the mandarins with the food coloring marker.
2. Cut pairs of bat wings, leaving an extra bit, around ¼”, on the flat side to fold back and act as a tab. Add an adhesive dot to the tab to adhere each wing to the mandarin.
3. Cut pairs of small triangles for ears. Use the knife to cut small shallow slits on the top of the mandarin and tuck in the ears. (TIP: If you don’t have adhesive dots you can cut shallow slits for the wings too!)
