Ok I have a little confession before you read this. My husband has been out of town for almost a week, because of this Avery and I have gone a little crazy (ok I’ve gone a little crazy). Avery and I had so much fun with the flamingos that they have now become a part of our family. From here on out they will now be referred to as Timothy and Sebastian….yup thats right we (I) have named them.

Earlier in the week I found this project on the fantastic blog  Sugar & Cloth . I was looking for some games for the kids at Avery’s party and came across this adorable ring toss idea. Of course I did have to change it up a little due to my new obsession with gold spray paint!

What you will need:

• 2 lawn flamingos (dollar store)
• 6 rings (dollar store)
• two buckets (dollar store)
• 3 colours of spray paint
• Sand/Dirt/Rocks (bucket filler)

Step 1- Take an obscene amount of pictures with your new friends Timothy and Sebastian.

We started out on not great terms.

Then we really started to bond.

Best friends!

Shhh don’t tell Timothy I’m kissing Sebastian.

Avery woke up and wanted in on the action.

Step 2-Spray paint Timothy and Sebastien gold, and spray paint your rings with your two other colors. I did 3 pink and 3 teal.

Step 3-Fill your buckets with sand/dirt or something that will hold you flamingos in place. You could also skip this step and put the flamingos directly in the ground if you are able to.

Step 4-Rename your flamingos to have flashy alter egos. I would now like to introduce you to Sparkles and Jazzy Jeff!
