Activities to Do With Flamingo Coloring Pages
Don’t let the fun stop once the coloring is done. You can use these finished pages for a variety of creative projects. Here are a few ways to repurpose your artwork.
Create Tropical Wall Art
Turn a bedroom or playroom into a tropical retreat. Have your kids color the detailed flamingo scenes using high-quality markers or colored pencils. Frame the best ones in simple white or wooden frames to create a gallery wall. It is an affordable way to add a splash of color to any room.
DIY Greeting Cards
Flamingos are great for saying hello or sending love. Use the printer settings to print the coloring pages at a smaller scale (try 50% or 25%). Once colored, cut them out and paste them onto folded cardstock. These make perfect birthday cards or “Thinking of You” notes for friends and family.
Flamingo Stick Puppets
Bring the birds to life with a puppet show. Color the flamingos on cardstock for extra durability. Cut them out carefully and tape a popsicle stick or a craft dowel to the back. Kids can hide behind the sofa and put on a tropical-themed play for the family.
Party Decorations
Planning a luau or a summer pool party? Use these pages as custom decorations. You can string them together to make a banner, use them as placemats for the kids’ table, or tape them to windows. It adds a personal, handmade touch to your event.
Fun Fact Booklet
Combine learning with art. After coloring a page, help your child research a fun fact about flamingos and write it on the back. Staple the pages together to create a custom “All About Flamingos” book. This improves handwriting and reading skills while they have fun.
Mixed Media Collage
Encourage kids to think outside the crayon box. Instead of just coloring, use other materials to fill in the picture. Glue pink feathers onto the flamingo’s body, use blue glitter for the water, or stick real dried leaves on the tropical plants. This adds texture and depth to the artwork.
FAQs
Why Are Flamingos Pink?
Flamingos are not born pink; they are actually born with grey feathers. They turn pink because of their diet, which consists mainly of brine shrimp and blue-green algae. These foods contain pigments called carotenoids that dye their feathers over time.
What Colors Should I Use for These Pages?
While pink is the obvious choice, you can use various shades like coral, salmon, and fuchsia to add depth. Don’t forget bright blues for the water, greens for the tropical leaves, and yellow for the sun. You can also get creative and make a purple or blue flamingo if you want!
Can I Use Paint on These Coloring Pages?
Yes, you can use watercolor or acrylic paints. However, standard printer paper might wrinkle or bleed through when wet. If you plan to use paint, we recommend printing the pages on thicker cardstock or watercolor paper.
Are These Coloring Pages Free to Use?
Yes, all the coloring pages on this list are free for personal and educational use. You can print as many copies as you like for your children, students, or yourself. Please do not redistribute or sell them.
Why Do Flamingos Stand on One Leg?
Scientists believe flamingos stand on one leg to conserve body heat. By tucking one leg up against their warm body, they reduce the amount of heat lost through their limbs in cold water. It also requires very little muscular effort for them to hold this pose.
What Is a Group of Flamingos Called?
A group of flamingos is called a “flamboyance,” which fits their bright and colorful appearance perfectly. They are very social birds and often live in colonies numbering in the thousands.
