HAVERTOWN, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- Two baseball-loving kids from Havertown, Pennsylvania, have become the 'Bat Brothers' after a creative spark turned into a cool summer business.

The act of sticking electrical tape to wiffle ball bats is already popular among kids. The boys were inspired by more elaborate designs they saw on social media to make some of their own.

Their parents encouraged them to sell their colorful creations to kids in the community. In the first two weeks, they already sold 50.

Their ultimate goal is to encourage kids to spend more time outside and stay active.
