One-Legged Flamingo Smiling in the Water

This happy flamingo balances on a single leg, with the other one tucked up against its body. The long neck makes a graceful S-curve and ends in a smiling face with a big round eye, a raised eyebrow and a curved beak with a bold tip. The wing is built from rounded layers of feathers with pointy tips at the back, so there are large and small spaces to color. A few ripple rings spread around the leg at the bottom to show the water. Nothing else is in the background, which keeps the flamingo front and center. Bright pink works nicely on the body and wing, with deeper rose on the feather tips and soft blue for the ripples. It's a free printable that suits preschoolers through early elementary, and it fits right into a classroom bird or animal unit. Looking for more?
