It is easy to make, turns out beautifully, and is a perfect addition to any present.
It is a simple enough craft for kids to make.
This would make an excellent keepsake card, especially for moms, grandmas, and aunts.

You only need a few basic materials to make this yourself (or with a kiddo).
Supplies Youll Need
*it’s possible for you to use smaller sized paper.
You will trace your hand on the folded third of the paper.
This will ensure that you still have plenty of room to draw the rest of your body parts.
Step 2.You will now trace your hand.
To do this, line up your pinky finger with the folded edge.
Get your marker and carefully trace your hand.
Be sure to keep your pinky finger aligned with the folded edge the entire time.
Step 3.When you are done tracing, you should have your handprint on the page.
Its time to get your scissors.
Step 4.Begin cutting out your handprint.
Be careful not to cut the folded edge at all, so that the card is able to open.
Step 5.When you are done cutting, you should have a hand that opens.
The hand will serve as the main body of your flamingo.
Do you see how your fingers look like flamingo feathers?
Step 6.Be sure that your handprint opens and closes.
This should work because you didnt cut along the folded edge.
Step 7.Now, it is time to draw the rest of your flamingo.
Start with the beak, head, and neck.
Start by sketching out an oval-shaped head and the long neck of your flamingo.
Then, draw the beak.
Step 8.Next up are the legs for your flamingo.
These can be simple and long.
I have drawn one of the legs straight and the other so that it looks bent.
Step 9.Its time to get your scissors again!
Carefully cut out the beak, head, neck, and legs.
Step 10.Now, use your glue stick to attach the flamingos neck to the handprint body.
Step 11.You are almost done!Its time to glue the legs at the back of the flamingos body.
Step 12.We just need to add the finishing touches now.
Its time to add a googly eye to complete your flamingo.
Doesnt this pink flamingo look super cute?
Step 13.Now, you could open your card.
Write a sweet and thoughtful personalized message for the lucky recipient of your flamingo.
What an adorable card!
