Description
Teach toddlers all about bats with big pictures, bold lines and one simple task on every page: a black bat to dab, a brown bat to fill with fingerprints and a mother bat with her pup to color.
Little ones trace, glue, tear, dab, count and roll play dough while they learn that bats sleep in the day, fly at night and eat fruit and bugs.

WHAT MAKES IT WORK
Every page has one simple task, big pictures and bold lines, so toddlers can focus and feel proud of what they made.
Each page turns a real bat fact into a hands-on moment: bats fly at night, so toddlers dab the stars; many bats eat bugs, so they zigzag to the moth; bats rest upside down, so they tear paper for a hanging bat.
The Black Bat and Brown Bat rhymes are short and easy to read aloud, and the Bat Facts for Teachers page gives you simple, accurate words to answer little questions.
The pages are black and white to save ink, and the dough mat, the picture cards and the headband also come in bright color.
