Colouring ideas
- Irish bats have brown or grey fur and paler tummies, so try browns, greys and a little cream. Or invent a brand new, batty species!
- Bats come out at night. Add a night sky with dark blues and purples, a bright moon and some stars.
- Bats eat insects. Can you draw some moths and midges for them to catch?
- A bat’s wing is a thin layer of skin stretched over long finger bones. Can you colour in every finger?
For teachers: these pages make a quiet follow-up activity after reading A year in a bat’s life.
