** Halloween theme or Nocturnal Scene ** The bat is generally nocturnal (active at night) and associated with the "mysterious" darkness of the night and Halloween festivities. Other animals that share similar "reputations" are: the owl, black cat and spiders, to name a few. Learning real facts about bats and these other animals is important to dispel fears and instead children can learn the difference between facts and myths/fiction or superstitions.

Ideally, plan for a number of days of activities for older children and keep it simple for children under three years old.
