A round, friendly unicorn stands on a gentle hill with a striped horn, a curling mane and a swishing tail, while six stars and a crescent moon fill the sky behind her. Every area is large enough for a small child to fill without carefully staying inside the lines, and the outlines are thick enough to guide a crayon that wanders. The mane and tail are each drawn as three separate locks, so a rainbow mane takes three taps and needs no brush work at all. Most children reach for pink or purple here, but the night setting works beautifully with deep blues and a pale yellow moon, and it is worth suggesting: coloring the sky dark makes the stars appear to glow. If you are printing this, the line work is heavy enough to survive crayon pressed hard, which is how it will be used. Printed at A4 the drawing fills the sheet with a wide clean margin, so a finished picture can be trimmed and pinned up without cutting into the artwork.

Did you know?
- Scotland's national animal is the unicorn. It has been part of the royal coat of arms since the 1500s, chosen because unicorns were believed to be untameable.
- The unicorn was not originally a fairy tale. The Greek writer Ctesias described it around 400 BC in a book of natural history, as a real animal he believed lived in India.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this unicorn coloring page suitable for a 3-year-old?
Yes. The areas are all large and clearly separated by thick outlines, so a three-year-old can fill them by tapping on screen, or scribble inside them with a crayon without the picture falling apart.
What colors look best for a unicorn under the stars?
A dark navy or deep purple sky makes the stars and moon stand out, and a pale pink or white unicorn reads clearly against it. The mane is where most children go rainbow.
Can we color this on a tablet instead of printing it?
Yes. Tap Color Online and the picture fills the screen. Tapping an area fills it instantly, and the work saves automatically if you close the tab partway through.
