Sleepy-Eyed Flamingo Strolling With Curled Tail Feathers

A single flamingo strides across the page in side view, its long S-shaped neck curving up to a small head with a closed, sleepy-looking eye and a big bent beak. The rounded body has a curled tuft of tail feathers at the back, drawn with several layered lines. A scalloped wing patch sits in the middle of the body. Two thin legs stretch out in a mid-step pose, with flat webbed feet at the bottom. The outlines are bold and clean, and the large open spaces are easy for small hands to fill in. Try the classic pink on the body and neck, then use a deeper shade on the wing patch so the feather scallops stand out. Kids can also practice by coloring the beak in two tones, since it bends and changes direction near the tip. This free printable works well for a quick afternoon activity or a bird unit at school.
