Bat Facts Printable Coloring Page

Whether you celebrate Halloween or any variety of un-Halloween harvest-type celebrations, I have a printable for you!

Bats get a scary portrayal around this time of year, so here’s a little guy to help teach your kiddos how amazing God’s creations are and how un-scary! Redeem that bad bat image!

This little guy comes complete with some interesting batty facts.

Teaching my kids about animals is one of my favorite things about homeschooling. We drew this little guy step-by-step in homeschool and co-op art class, watercolored him, and then outlined in Sharpie (you could outline in Sharpie first).

We also watched a few bat videos on You-Tube (including this one) and checked out what some real bats looked like with a quick Google image search. I’m trying this printable and hope to do more animal printables in the future!

How will you use yours?

Prepping for Saturday's class @friendlycityclay 💕
I recorded today's newsletter as a "pretend podcas I recorded today's newsletter as a "pretend podcast." You can hear me yap about how much I love the story of Frozen, why I think the song "Let it Go" has to be understood in context of the movie's whole story, and what I think that insight has to teach us about good Biblical interpretation.

Jesus Speaks to Women: Mary Magdalene, Part 2 on J Jesus Speaks to Women: Mary Magdalene, Part 2 on John 20:1-18 is posted on Substack! 

Here is some of what I'm pondering:
🖤 what did the death of Jesus mean to Mary?
🖤 why did Jesus meet her first after his resurrection?
🖤 the evidence of the grave linens
🖤 a new type of Eve
🖤 Golgotha has a garden
