How To Make A Handprint Unicorn

Step 1. Paint & Stamp

To make a pink unicorn, paint your child’s hand pink! Make sure to get enough paint on their hand that it stamps well onto the paper, and work quickly so their hand doesn’t dry before stamping it.

To stamp the paper, have your child keep their fingers together and their thumb up. The thumb will turn into the unicorn’s ear, and the finger tips will be the unicorns nose.

Step 2. Draw The Unicorn’s Face & Horn

Use the permanent marker to add a unicorn horn to the top of the head. I also added a pretty closed eye with eyelashes and a little smile.

Step 3. Paint The Unicorn’s Mane

Use the blue paint to paint some long curling unicorn hair around the ear on the back of the hand.

After the unicorn is painted, your child can paint all around the paper to add a background or details they like.

That’s it, the unicorn handprint craft is complete!
