Get ready to ruffle some feathers (in the best way)! This playful flamingo wind chime is the perfect blend of art and movement. Kids will paint, glue, and string it together to create a charming chime that jingles in the summer breeze.
Choose your material:
🌳 Maple (1/8") – A sturdier option that can be displayed outdoors. (A clear sealer such as Spar Urethane added at home will provide added protection from the elements.)
🪵 MDF (1/8") – Lightweight and perfect for indoor fun. (Not weather-resistant.)
