It seemed only fitting since we live in Tampa, Florida that we share this popsicle stick Christmas flamingo kid craft idea with you all! It’s for those of us who are dreaming of seeing reindeer in the snow but the odds are not in our favor – LOL!

On that note, this latest craft idea idea from us is super cute, really easy to achieve AND makes for awesome {and festive} party decor to make & display this upcoming holiday season! Perfect for kids and adults – it’s clearly a MUST DO! You could even do some pretend puppet play with each piece you make!

My favorite element is probably the candy cane striped “flamingo legs” I made from pipe cleaners. It honestly started from there and only got better!
