Five Flamingos Wading Under a Sunny Sky

Coloring guide
Five flamingos stand and wade in shallow, rippling water in this printable scene. Three hold their long S-shaped necks high, and two in front bend down to dip their beaks in the water, so there's a nice mix of poses. Every bird has big feathered wings, thin long legs and a dark-tipped beak. A shoreline with rolling hills runs across the middle of the page. Up above, a round sun with rays shines beside three puffy clouds, and small bushes sit at the water's edge while grass tufts frame the bottom corners. The wide open wings and bodies are a good match for chunky crayons and markers. Soft pink on the feathers and deep coral along the wing edges look good, with black or dark gray beaks for contrast. A free PDF is ready to print for a quiet afternoon. This fits right in with our Flamingo coloring pages — see also Puppies and Cats.
