Let's Be Flamingos!

How it works

1. 1

   First, let's get dressed up! Show your child the pink clothes and the flamingo picture. Talk about how flamingos stand on one leg. Then help them put on the wings you made. What do you notice as you talk about flamingos and get dressed?

2. 2

   Now hold your child's hand and say, 'Let's stand like a flamingo!' Encourage them to lift one foot. How does your child respond when you try balancing together?

3. 3

   Now let's make it playful! Say, 'Flamingos flap their wings!' Encourage your child to flap their wings while balancing, or try a little jump. What playful movements does your child attempt?
