Activity guide for this page

Recommended age: Ages 4–7
Estimated time: 10–20 min
Difficulty: Easy
Areas to color: about 11

Coloring order

Begin with the long curving neck, the round body and the single standing leg, all in one pink.
Alternate pink and soft orange along the rows of feathers on the folded wing so the colors blend gently.
Finish the downward-bent beak, black only at the tip, and the thin long legs in a dark brown.

Questions to talk about

How is the flamingo holding up its other leg?
What might the flamingo be looking at with its long, curved neck?
Have you ever stood on one foot? How long could you stay up?

Take it further

Stand on one foot near a wall and count slowly to ten, then switch feet. Talk about what it felt like when you wobbled.

Age and time are rough guides for a child coloring alone with pencils or crayons; every child is different. The area count is an estimate counted from the line-art image.

Printing and coloring tips

Print on A4 or Letter in portrait to keep the original proportions.
Keep the finished version open beside you while you color.
Use slightly heavier paper with water-based markers so the ink shows through less.
Fill the large areas first and leave the small ones for later.
The finished version is only a suggestion. Any colors you like will work.
