Unicorns are all the rage these days (and I mean, always with little girls), so of course the tiny humans were enthralled with this simple unicorn craft! Lots of cutting skills involved in this one, and of course, a little bit of magic too 😉
Materials:
- White Craft Paper
- Colored Markers or Crayons
- Variety of colored construction paper
- Stickers (flowers, butterflies, rainbows, etc.)
- Scissors
- Glue
Instructions:
- Fold a square piece of paper diagonally and cut a rounded corner at one end, as shown in the image. Unfolding this will give you a heart shape.
- Now cut some more shapes out of white paper: ‘long’ triangle for the horn and a petal shape for the ear.
- Use your colored markers to color in the horn. Use any pattern or combination of colors.
- Use pink to color the inner ear.
- Cut out several strips from the colored construction paper to make the mane.
- To give the mane a more realistic look, snip the colored part into thin strips, making sure you don’t cut all the way through the paper.
- Take the heart shape from earlier and place it with the pointy part facing upward.
- Fold the curved parts inward on the left side.
- Glue the mane on the left edge of the heart, making sure the glued part is underneath.
- Glue the horn on the top, to the right side of the heart’s point.
- Glue the ear on the pointy edge of the heart.
- Draw a curved line for a closed eye, and thin straight lines for eyelashes on the right side under the horn with a black crayon/marker.
- Draw a small dot on the tip of the right side of the rounded heart for the nose with a black crayon/marker.
- Add stickers where the ear & horn meet – or all over if your friends are extra as mine are 😉
- Voila! A magical unicorn!
