How to print unicorn coloring pages that look great

  1. Download the PDF from the button on this page. All four pages are in one file.
  2. Choose the paper. Printer paper is fine for crayons and colored pencils. Use cardstock for markers or paint so colors don't bleed.
  3. Print at actual size on US Letter paper. If your printer adds margins, choose "fit to page."
  4. Print extras. Siblings and party guests often want the same unicorn, so print a few of each.
  5. Set out supplies. Crayons, colored pencils, washable markers, and glitter glue for the horn and stars.

Unicorn coloring ideas kids love

  • Classic rainbow: white body, rainbow mane and tail, gold horn.
  • Pastel dream: soft pink, lavender, mint and baby blue.
  • Night sky: a dark blue or purple unicorn with bright yellow stars.
  • Sparkle finish: glitter glue on the horn, hooves and stars after the crayon dries.
  • Garden unicorn: color the meadow and roses first, then match the mane to the flowers.

A little unicorn history

Unicorns are mythical, but the idea is very old. According to Britannica, the earliest description in Greek literature comes from the historian Ctesias around 400 BCE, who wrote about a one-horned wild animal in India. In medieval Europe, unicorns appeared in tapestries and stories as symbols of purity and strength, and a unicorn still appears on the royal arms of Scotland. It's a fun fact to share while kids color.

Coloring as screen-free time

Coloring is a simple way to practice fine motor skills, try out color choices and wind down after a busy day. The American Academy of Pediatrics encourages families to balance screens with offline activities and to make a plan that fits their family. Keeping a folder of printable coloring pages makes it easy to offer a screen-free option when kids ask for "something to do."

Turn unicorn pages into a reward

Kids who love unicorns will work for the next page. Try pairing these coloring pages with a sticker chart: each finished chore, reading session or calm bedtime earns a sticker, and a full row earns a new unicorn page or a special coloring session with a parent.

Frequently asked questions

Are these unicorn coloring pages free to print? Yes, all four unicorn coloring pages are in one free PDF that you can print at home, at school or at the library for personal and classroom use. You don't need to sign up or give an email address. Print as many copies as your kids want, which is handy when siblings both want the same unicorn.

What ages are these unicorn coloring pages for? The pages work for roughly ages 3 to 10. The baby unicorn on a cloud and the unicorn head have bigger, simpler shapes that suit preschoolers, while the flower meadow and the winged unicorn over a castle have more small details for older kids who like a challenge. Adults who enjoy relaxing coloring like them too.

What paper is best for printing unicorn coloring pages? Regular printer paper is fine for crayons and colored pencils. If your kids like markers or watercolor paint, use a heavier cardstock or a 24 to 32 pound paper so the color doesn't bleed through. Printing at 'actual size' or 'fit to page' on US Letter keeps the lines crisp and centered.

What colors do you use for a rainbow unicorn? There's no wrong answer, but a classic rainbow unicorn has a white or pale pink body, a mane and tail in rainbow stripes of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, and a gold or silver horn. Kids can also try a 'night unicorn' with a dark blue body and bright pastel mane, or match the unicorn to a favorite color.

Where did the idea of unicorns come from? Unicorns are mythical animals that show up in stories across many cultures. Britannica notes that the earliest description in Greek literature comes from the historian Ctesias around 400 BCE, who described a wild animal in India with a single horn. Later, the unicorn became a symbol in European art and heraldry, including the royal arms of Scotland.

How can I make unicorn coloring pages more fun? Add glitter glue to the horn, use metallic gel pens for the stars, or cut out the finished unicorn and glue it to a card. You can also turn coloring into a reward: when a child fills a row on a sticker chart, they get to pick the next unicorn page. Hanging finished pages on the fridge makes kids proud.

Are coloring pages good for kids? Coloring is an easy, screen-free activity that lets kids practice holding a crayon, staying in the lines and choosing colors, and it can be a calm way to wind down. The American Academy of Pediatrics encourages families to balance screen time with hands-on, offline play, and a stack of coloring pages is a simple way to do that.

Can I use these unicorn coloring pages for a party? Yes, you can use these unicorn coloring pages for a party. Unicorn coloring pages make an easy birthday party activity or a take-home favor. Print a few copies of each page, set out crayons and stickers, and let guests color while everyone arrives. Each page has a name line, so kids can write their name and take their artwork home at the end.
