Materials Needed for This Pink Flamingo Paper Plate Craft
Let's Make a Flamingo!
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Gather your supplies.
Step 2: Cut the Plate in Half
Cut the paper plate in half. One half will be the body.
Step 3: Cut the Head and Neck
From the other half, snip a small rounded section for the head and neck.
Step 4: Cut the Legs, Neck and Wing
From pink construction paper, cut two long legs and a skinny “S” shape for the neck. Snip out a wing too, whatever shape looks “flamingo-ish” to your kid.
Step 5: Paint the Plate Pieces
Let your child paint all the plate pieces pink. Encourage full coverage or wild streaks. Pink chaos is welcome here.
Step 6: Attach the Head
Glue the head and the body together.
Step 7: Add the Legs
Add the legs under the body. Long and floppy is the vibe, flamingos are fancy like that.
Step 8: Add the Eye
Cut out a white circle and glue it on to the flamingo for an eye, or use a googly eye!
Step 9: Draw the Details
Use the black marker to draw a beak, pupil, and anything else, freckles, eyelashes, tiny top hat?
Step 10: Add the Wing
Glue the wing on the side of the body.
All done!
Your fancy flamingo is ready to display!
