International Flamingo Day is celebrated annually on April 26. It’s a day to raise awareness for the protection of flamingos and their habitats. I love flamingos! Their pink color, cute honking sounds, gracefulness, and all-around fun make them one of my favorite animals. While I have not had an opportunity to see them in the wild, they are one my favorite animals to visit at the zoo.
Let’s Celebrate!
To celebrate international flamingo day, I have pulled together a list of stories, a craft, and worksheets for preschoolers so they can get in on the fun of flamingo day!
Flamingo Books!
Here are 9 books featuring these beautiful pink birds! Learn how they get their pink color, about their habitats, and other fun facts. Our favorite story is the “Fussy Flamingo!” Do you have a favorite flamingo book that I missed?
