Flamingo Paper Plate Craft For Kids
One of my favourite birds is the Flamingo. Today on the blog I have a fantastic Flamingo bird paper plate craft which I made. This is a fantastic activity for kids both in the home and in the classroom. Paper plate crafts can be fun to make and are fantastic for encouraging creativity, imagination and helping little ones build fine motor skills. I have a list of supplies and instructions but you can change them up a little to make your craft unique and different.

What You Will Need

1 pink pom pom
Pink tissue paper
Paper plate any colour

Let’s Make It
Bending your plate into a semi circle, draw around the plate on blue felt.
Repeat again using the green felt, so you have two semi circles.
Next use the glue gun to glue the blue felt to the paper plate.
Then use the glue gun to glue the green felt to the paper plate.
Next we will begin gluing the flamingo foam to the felt on the paper plate.
Cut out the flamingo from pink foam. Cut out tails from the tissue paper and fold the pink pipe cleaner in half.
Glue the flamingo’s head and body to the felt background using the glue gun.
Next glue the tissue paper tail to the end of the flamingo’s body and glue the pipe cleaner legs under the flamingo.
Finally glue the pink pom pom to the flamingo’s body.
Now you have your paper plate flamingo. Enjoy.

Ahhh, how cute! So simple and so effective x
thanks lovely. It was fun to make.
That flamingo paper plate would look right at home with all my street art wouldn’t it haha? On another note though I have to say I think this is a great craft idea for both home or the classroom x
I’m sure it would ha ha! 🙂
That’s really cute. Caitlin is really into tropical birds at the moment and has been nagging me to invest in a glue gun. She’d love this.
Using a glue gun is fun. Sylvia enjoys it!
What a good idea!
Thanks
What a fun thing to make with the smalls. How clever as well. My boys would love to try this with help 🙂
I like this a lot, it is so creative. My little boy might not like the flamingo, but maybe we could do one with a car or a dinosaur.
Thanks. It was fun to make.
