Playful Flamingo Kids Craft

This post is brought to you by Gymboree and the #OneBigHappy” campaign, however all opinions expressed are my own. We hope your family has a happy time making this playful flamingo kids craft this summer.

Summer time is my absolute favorite time of year because with school out for the summer we get to focus on creating “One Big Happy” moments together as a family.

Whether it’s a simple trip to the splash pad, going to the movie theater to see that movie we’ve anticipated for months, or a fun trip to the zoo, we love all of the time we get to spend together in the summer.

My favorite way to extend the happy outings we have all summer long is by bringing the fun back home by making crafts to go along with our activities.

Every summer one of the places we look forward to visiting most is our local aviary. Our recent trip was especially exciting because they have a new baby flamingo this year. We were also able to see a Mom and Dad Quail with five little babies. There’s just something about baby birds that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy.

Among our other favorites is the friendly peacock that wanders freely around the aviary and all our friends in the owl forest. My daughter’s new outfit from Gymboree’s Fruit Punch Collection added the perfect compliment to our trip. The darling flamingo theme gave us a great idea to come home from the aviary and create a playful flamingo kids craft to go along with our visit. It’s super simple to make and makes for an afternoon full of puppet show fun for the whole family.

What fun adventures does your family have planned this summer? Another summer favorite of ours is having picnics at our city conservation garden park. It’s cost free to visit the park and we can’t get enough of walking through the lush plants and flowers in bloom. Pretty flower crafts make a perfect afternoon activity after having a fun family garden picnic.
