Create a unique paper unicorn with an adorable curly tail. This fun unicorn craft is perfect for birthday parties or just an afternoon of creating with your kids.

Paper Unicorn

My daughter is obsessed with unicorns. They decorate her room, she dresses up as a unicorn, and any time she sees something unicorn at the store, she wants it.

Unicorn crafts can be a bit challenging because creating a unicorn isn’t always easy. So we came up with this fun and easy printable paper unicorn craft.

My daughter loves it because she can create a fun unicorn and have it look “realistic”. Plus, the 3D effect always wows the kiddos.

Tips for making this printable unicorn craft

• For younger children, you can cut strips ahead of time.
• Make sure that the strip is secured before curling and attaching the second end. We like to press and count to ten.
• One printable pack will have enough strips to create all 3 unicorns.
• They can draw around the unicorn to complete their project.
• The unicorn template also comes in black and white. So kids can color the unicorns however they want!
