A unicorn with a spiral horn and a long, wavy mane waits in a meadow of flowers beneath a rainbow that ends in two big stars, with a sky dotted by constellations. Of all the printable coloring pages of unicorns, this one gives you plenty to color and plenty to invent, perfect for a dreamy sheet that does not look babyish.
The unicorn stands in profile with an arched neck, a long spiral horn and a mane that falls in waves almost to the flowers. Stars and swirls decorate its flank. Behind it, a rainbow drawn in bands ends in two large stars, and the sky holds a moon and constellations joined by thin lines. A field of mixed flowers fills the foreground.
It suits ages nine to fourteen. Younger kids enjoy the wide spaces of the rainbow and the body, while older ones can focus on the mane, the flowers and the flank decorations. It is a flexible page that welcomes either a quick coloring or an hours-long project with shadows and gradients.
Pick the PDF for your paper size and keep the scale at one hundred percent. The flowers and constellations have thin lines, so normal or high print quality is the way to go. If you plan to color the sky in rich colors, use heavy paper so it can take several layers without wrinkling.
Break the white-horse cliché: make it midnight blue, turquoise with a pink mane, or a coat that fades from violet to orange. The rainbow does not have to follow the classic order; try a palette of only three colors. And color the stars in the sky a bright yellow so they seem to glow.
The lines that join the stars invite you to make up your own constellations. You can name them, like the Spiral, the Horn or the Meadow, and write each name in small letters beside its group. Color the stars a warm yellow and the sky a deep blue, with a patch of violet near the rainbow to soften the change. The result is a fantasy star map you can frame with pride.
Pastels such as lilac, pink and sky blue give a classic feel. For something bolder, try deep blues, intense violets and touches of gold on the horn. The mane is the ideal place to blend two or three shades.
Color each band with a single shade and leave a thin edge of bare paper between bands so they do not blend. With pencils, begin with the light colors and finish with the dark ones.
Yes. Printed on cardstock and colored with care, it looks lovely framed. You can also dedicate it to someone by writing a message in the sky among the constellations with a gold marker.
