Let’s make a Bat
This paper plate bat idea rocks – literally!
Instructions:
- Fold one of your black plates in half and cut the other in half
- Take the plate you’ve cut in half and create wings by cutting out semi circles along the straight edges
- Stick googly eyes to the folded plate and use some of the material you have cut off from the other plate to create and stick a mouth and some fangs
- Use another piece of cut off material to secure the folded plate and to stop this from opening fully
- Cut 1cm either side on the folded lines of the bat’s face and stick the wings so that they stick out above the head

Let’s make a Pumpkin
Children will love bringing this paper plate pumpkin to life.
Instructions:
- Cut out two slots (for eyes and a mouth) from one of the painted orange plates, as well as the top and bottom to create a pumpkin effect
- Cut off the patterned edges from another orange plate to make a smaller circle
- Put the smaller plate behind the bigger plate ensuring the colour of the small plate is visible through the slots and fasten together using paper fastener in the middle
- Pencil in eyes and mouth to create two different faces, make sure you turn the faces regularly to check they are in the right place, and colour in with black pen
- Finally, cut out a stalk from green paper and a triangle for a nose out of black paper and glue the stalk to the back of the plate and the nose to the paper fastener
