Sunset Flight of a Flamingo Over the Sea

Coloring guide
Across the page soars a flamingo with its big wings raised high, its long neck stretched forward and its legs trailing behind. A large round sun rests on the horizon behind it, and simple ripples and wavy lines mark the water below. On the left and right edges, small islands hold palm trees and bushes, while a few fluffy clouds and tiny flying birds fill the sky. The wing feathers are layered, which gives older kids lots of detail, while the big sun and calm water are easy for little hands. Bright pink and coral with a black beak tip suit the flamingo, and warm orange and yellow are good for the sun. This free printable fits a quiet afternoon at home or in the classroom.
