Flamingo Standing on One Leg in Grass

A single flamingo stands on one long leg with the other leg tucked up under its body. Its neck curves in a big S shape and the head bends down toward the chest, with the beak pointing downward. The wing is drawn as layers of pointed feathers, and the tail tapers to a sharp tip on the left. A few tufts of spiky grass sit at the bottom around the foot. The line work is bold with plenty of open space, so it suits both younger kids and older ones who like detail. Try coloring the wing feathers in a gradient from light pink to deeper coral, one row at a time. You could also print it for a quick lesson on why flamingos rest on one leg. This free page works well for a calm afternoon of coloring.
