“F” is for flamingo and today’s popsicle stick kid craft idea is the PERFECT way to reinforce that idea!

Inspired by my son {I’m trying to step up his letter recognition at home} today I’m sharing another kid friendly activity that is SUPER simple for kids and adults of all ages to pull together for some awesome craft time!

This Popsicle Stick Flamingo Kid Craft Idea is pretty easy AND completely customizable too! And it’s just that – an “F” that we turned into an adorable flamingo. Then decorate with various embellishments to really create a one-of-a-kind friend! Super fun – right?!

Now let’s grab our craft supplies and get to the step-by-step tutorial below! Happy crafting, my friends!!!

Supplies:

* Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {1 per flamingo}
* Mini Popsicle Sticks {4 per flamingo}
* School Glue
* Pink Craft Paint
* Orange Craft Paint
* Paint Brushes
* Black Cardstock
* Scissors
* Wiggle Eyes

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.
* To finish off your Craft Stick Flamingo kid craft – have children glue their cardstock piece, along with a wiggle eye, to their popsicle stick shape. Then let it all sit aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!!!
