This flamingo name craft is a fun, hands-on activity that’s perfect for young kids and packed with learning opportunities.

Not only will children love creating their own bright and colorful flamingo pool float, but they’ll also get to practice important skills like letter recognition, name spelling, cutting, and gluing along the way.

This is a great summer craft to make during pool parties, beach-themed activities, or just as a warm-weather boredom buster at home or in the classroom.

I’m so excited to add this playful summer name craft to our ever-growing collection of name crafts designed for all seasons, holidays, and special occasions!

Supplies

Flamingo Template – Grab your copy of the template at the bottom of this post!
Cardstock – I recommend Neenah White cardstock for a smooth, sturdy base that will hold up through all the fun!
Coloring Tools – Get creative! You can use markers, wax crayons, colored pencils, or even acrylic paint pens to bring your flamingo to life. Choose your favorite!
Scissors – A good pair of scissors is essential for cutting out your flamingo pieces.
Glue – A trusty glue stick or liquid glue will keep everything in place and help make your flamingo float pop!
Black marker or sharpie – to write the name in big bold letters!

Instructions

Flamingo Name Craft Template – Print a copy of the template on high-quality white cardstock. I love using Neenah White cardstock for its smooth texture and durability, perfect for these fun projects!

Coloring Tools – Grab your favorite coloring tools (markers, crayons, colored pencils, or paint pens) and let your creativity soar! Use bright, bold colors to make your flamingo float really stand out.

Name Circles – You’ll need one circle for each letter of the child’s name, so be sure to color in enough to spell out the full name. Get creative with the colors for the name too!

Write the Name – Use a black marker or Sharpie to write one letter of the child’s name on each circle. Make sure it’s bold and easy to read for the full name effect!

Scissors – Carefully cut out all the pieces. If you’re working with younger kids, make sure to step in and help with the cutting part.

Glue – Once everything’s cut out, it’s time to glue those letter circles onto the flamingo pool float to spell the name. Use a good, reliable glue stick or liquid glue to secure everything in place!
