Each flamingo masterpiece will be personalized with the kids’ own names. Letters of their name are printed on puddles of water where they’ll use their letter recognition skills to put in order to spell their name.

They’ll also work on fine motor skills and scissor skills as they cut and paste the parts of the craft together.

The editable template makes it easy to print out each kid’s unique name, so it’s spelled just the way they do! Once you’ve got the template, grab the supplies and the kids to flock together and make this colorful craft this summer.

Supplies

• Colored cardstock or construction paper
• Scissors

Take the beak and glue it to the end of the flamingo’s head.
