Unicorn

Big sis loves unicorns right now, so when I asked her what kind of art project she would like to do on a rainy day I should not have been surprised to hear "unicorn!" I really "winged" this project, so it isn't anything too special, but big sis just loves hers. (It is currently hanging on the wall in her room.)

Supplies needed: white construction paper or cardstock, scissors, markers/crayons/stickers/other supplies for decorating, googly eyes, glue, curly ribbon (or yarn or other item of choice for the tail), feathers.

I used cardstock (8.5x11). First I cut out all the parts of the body: for the main body, I just rounded the edges of one sheet of cardstock. The legs were made from about half a sheet of cardstock and the head was formed out of the other half. Also cut out a small rectangle for the neck and cut out the unicorn horn. (We didn't place ears on it due to some time issues.)

Big and Little Sis colored the "torso" first and also used stickers. (Big sis was determined to color every square inch this time, so little sister wanted to do likewise...they both enlisted Mommy's help for this!)Next, they colored the legs and grew them on. Big sis chose to blue it on the front of the torso. Little sis just wanted to play with the glue and refused to attach her legs. At this point, she decided to move on to something else! :o)We attached the neck and head, then big sis decorated this part. She glued on googly eyes and a pom pom nose, drew on a mouth and cheeks, then started gluing on feathers for the mane. (She chose to cover the entire neck instead of the back of the neck and head.)

Finally, she wanted to color the unicorn horn and glued it onto the unicorn head.

I had her choose ribbon colors, then I did the tail part (partially due to limited time) - curled the ribbon and I ended up just taping it on.This made for one unique unicorn!
