The Mom I Want to Be

 

Five Black Bats

 

Five black bats

Ready to soar;

One stayed behind,

Now there are four.

Four black bats

Hanging from a tree;

One fell down,

Now there are three.

Three black bats

Wondering what to do;

One flew away,

Now there are two.

Two black bats

Sitting in the sun;

One fell asleep,

Leaving only one.

One lonesome bat

With no place to go,

Went hiding in a cave,

Now there are zero.

 

 

They are made from black craft foam. We cut 10 pieces 1/2 inch x 2 1/2 inches. I used 5 of them to cut out bat shapes, and the other five became the finger bands. Emily loves attaching googly eyes! Who doesn’t? Just a few quick stitches to hold them together, and they were done.
