My ten year old daughter had so much fun with our new Zig-Zag Scissors, that she cut out every single one of our bats! She even tied the knots for me. It’s really that simple! 

Here’s what you’ll need for this Easy No Carve Pumpkin Idea for Kids to Decorate at Halloween 

  • Black Ribbon – I found some beautiful sparkle black ribbon to use that is 5/8 in. wide
  • Zig-Zag Craft Scissors
  • A White Pumpkin – I used a craft pumpkin that I found at Michael’s Craft Store, but you could paint a fresh pumpkin
  • Warm Glue Gun and glue sticks or a great alternative Fabri-Tac Glue – I prefer it to avoid burns and it sticks instantly for something like this

Instructions:

  • Using your zig-zag scissors, cut 4 inch strips out of the ribbon
  • Tie a half-knot in the middle of the ribbon
  • If you want, cut an angle on each end of your ribbon to resemble a flying bat even more!
  • Now, just glue the ribbon bats using your own Bats flying over the Moon – fun design! 
  • That’s really it! See? Easy, Peasy!
