Flamboyant Flamingoes 🦩🎉
Fun facts about these playful pink dancers, kids favourite healthy gummies, free art and storytelling game ☺️
Fun Facts
Did you know flamingoes are fabulous dancers? Yup, you read that right - they dance to impress a potential partner!
Their pink colour comes from the food they eat - shrimp! If your skin was the colour of the food you eat the most, what would it be? Mine would probably be the colour of potatoes 😅🍟
Flamingoes are super social, they live in groups from thousands to millions! A group of flamingoes is officially called a colony and colloquially known as a flamboyance 🤩
So, what does flamboyant mean? Have you ever seen something or someone that’s super bright, bold, and grabs everyone’s attention? That’s what "flamboyant" means! It’s when someone or something stands out in a big, colorful way. Imagine a dancing flamingo with their bright pink feathers—pretty hard to miss, right? That’s because flamingos are fabulously flamboyant!
Fruity Gummies
1 cup of your favourite fruit juice
2 tbsp unflavoured gelatin powder
2 tbsp honey
Optional: Chopped canned lychees
In a pot, heat the fruit juice until warm but not boiling.
Remove the pot from the heat, then add the gelatine powder and honey to the warm fruit juice. Whisk carefully until smooth. (I whisked mine a little too much so a layer of light pink foam stayed on top 😅)
Pour into a bowl (or silicon molds if you have them) and set in the fridge for 2 hours! If you have chopped canned lychees, sprinkle them in here.
Cut them up into pieces and enjoy!

Ready to use your imagination? Let’s make your own flamboyant character! Someone or something super colourful, bold, and fun!
Ask yourself these questions:
What does your character look like? Are they brilliantly bright or do they wear sparkly outfits?
What’s something they’re really good at? Can they fly, sing opera, or dance?
How do they act? Are they silly, loud, or love being the center of attention?
Where do they live? In a magical forest, a busy grey city, or even in space?
What kind of adventures do they go on?
