With summer around the corner, you may be searching for fun, easy and engaging craft projects to keep your kids occupied during those sunny days.
Crafts are a wonderful way for kids to flex their creative muscles and spend quality time with friends and family. In this post, I want to share a pink flamingo-themed craft idea that is perfect for young artists.
Flamingos are colorful, fun birds that will pique kids’ interests. We’ll be creating our very own popsicle stick flamingos using some items you likely already have at home.
This project requires minimal materials and supervision so it’s ideal for keeping little hands busy. Read on to learn how to turn a plain paper plate into a fancy flamingo companion your child will love showing off.
This pink flamingo popsicle stick craft is perfect for any age! Let’s make some together today!
Craft Supplies:
- Jumbo Popsicle Sticks – 1 per craft
- Mini Popsicle Sticks – 4 per craft
- School Glue
- Pink Craft Paint
- Orange Craft Paint
- Paint Brushes
- Black Cardstock Paper
- Scissors

Directions:
- First glue your popsicle sticks together to look like an “F.” See my picture above for an example.
- Set aside to let it dry completely. Repeat for each piece you want to make.
- Now it’s time for the paint! Paint the top of our newly made popsicle shape pink, while the bottom, orange. This will the be the body and legs of the flamingo.
- Next grab your scissors and cardstock. Cut out a nose/beak for your flamingo.
