One-Legged Flamingo in Shallow Water, a Birds Coloring Sheet

A smiling flamingo balances on a single long leg. The other leg is tucked up and crossed in front, with the little foot curled near the knee. It has a big round eye, a gently curved S-shaped neck and a bent beak with a bold dark tip. Layered, scallop-shaped feathers fan out along the wing and tail, so there are lots of small sections to fill. A few simple ripple rings at the bottom show the shallow water. The lines are thick and clean, which suits preschoolers and early elementary kids. For color, bubblegum pink on the body, deeper rose on the wing feathers and soft blue ripples around the leg all look nice. It also makes a calm quiet-time activity for a bird or animal unit, at home or at school. This fits right in with our Birds coloring pages — see also Bat and Frog.
