Cute Flamingo

Meet this graceful young flamingo, a friendly lagoon bird with a long curved neck, layered wing feathers, a special bent beak and wonderfully long legs for wading in shallow water. Children can colour the body soft pink, coral or peach, then use brighter rose and salmon shades on the wing feathers. Try pale pink on the upper beak, black on the beak tip, deeper pink on the legs, and a tiny white highlight in the eye. Colour the lagoon turquoise or sky blue, the lily pads and reeds fresh green, the flowers in sunny colours, the stones warm grey, the bush green, and the clouds pale blue. Work slowly inside the bold lines, blend two pink shades if you like, and add fish, dragonflies, ripples or sunshine in the open spaces.
