A winged unicorn flies above a bank of clouds, wings spread wide on either side and its mane streaming back. The wings are the reason to pick this one over the others: each is divided into a few long feather shapes, which gives a child a run of narrow areas to work through after the big easy body is done. That progression from large to small is worth encouraging, because it is how coloring stamina gets built. The horn is striped so it can be banded in two colors without any planning. Everything sits on a plain background, so a child who wants to make the whole sky one color can do it in a few taps online, or in a minute or two with the side of a crayon on paper. Printed on ordinary copier paper this holds up to crayon and pencil, though the feather shapes are narrow enough that a thick felt tip will overrun them, which is not a disaster but does lose the separation between them.

Did you know?
- A unicorn with wings has its own name: an alicorn. Confusingly, the same word was originally used for the unicorn's horn itself.
- Pegasus, the famous winged horse of Greek myth, had wings but no horn at all. The two creatures only got combined much later.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a winged unicorn called?
An alicorn. The word was originally used for the horn of a unicorn rather than the animal, and only came to mean a winged unicorn much more recently.
Which part should a young child color first?
The body. It is the biggest single shape, so it fills fast and the picture immediately looks like something. The feathers are better saved for when they have warmed up.
