Wobbly Wonders: Baby Flamingo's First Steps

Fun Fact

Baby flamingos aren't born pink! They are born with soft gray or white downy feathers. They only start to turn pink as they grow and eat special foods like brine shrimp and algae, which contain natural pink pigments!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Fluffy Feathers - Use light, short strokes with a pale gray or white crayon for the baby flamingo's downy feathers, adding a hint of very light pink or peach in shaded areas.
2. 2🖍️ Water Reflections - For the shallow water, use light blues and greens, blending them gently. Add subtle ripple lines with a darker shade to show movement around the flamingo's legs.
3. 3✨ Reedy Details - Color the tall reeds with various shades of green and brown, adding texture by drawing individual blades and shadows where they overlap.
4. 4🌈 Sunlit Glow - Imagine the sunlight hitting the scene. Use very light yellow or orange for a soft glow on the water and the tips of the reeds, especially around the flamingo.
