I love flamingos, so when I saw this idea for a flamingo valentine I sat right down and made one with materials I have on hand - my scale is off but you can still see how cute this will be once I have the correct size pipe cleaners! I have these hot pink super thick fluffy pipe cleaners (chenille stems) and skinny thin orange ones - this would be better with either a larger heart body, thinner pink pipe cleaner for the neck, and/or thicker and longer orange stems for the legs. Over all it's still cute tho so I'm showing it to you even though it isn't 'perfect'.
This is a very easy and quick craft, definitely kid-friendly as long as they can cut and glue. You'll need
- a big paper heart for the body
- 3 smaller paper hearts for the wings, fold in half
- pipe cleaners for the neck/head, and the legs - make them whatever color you like!
- scrap piece of cardstock for the beak/head
- sequin and gem for the eye
- black marker to color in the end of the beak
- feather for the tail
- glue, scissors
Note: you could leave off the wing hearts and write a Valentine message on the larger heart instead if you'd rather!
Bend and shape the legs. Glue the legs, tail, and S-shaped body to the back of the larger heart. That's it!
