PAIR YOUR UNICORN CRAFT WITH —> Paper Plate and Paint Splat Unicorn Hair
The Unicorn Craft Supplies:
* Paper Bowl – one per unicorn craft {any size, just needs to be white!}
* Cardstock Paper {white, pink and gold}
* School Glue
* Stapler
* Scissors
* Black Sharpie Marker
* Tye-Dye Yarn/String
optional materials – embellishments like glitter, rhinestones etc.
Directions:
* One paper bowl will make ONE unicorn so go ahead and pull that out, along with your sheets of cardstock paper & the scissors.
* Have children cut out a large oval nose, thin triangle unicorn horn, petal shaped ears etc. for EACH unicorn they are making today. When done cutting, set all the paper pieces aside.
* Next up – grab your craft yarn and the scissors again.
* Cut off a handful of 4 inch pieces of yarn to make the hair {maybe 10-20 strands depending on the look you like}
* Lay them all together, facing the same direction.
* Cut another piece of yarn and tie it around the center of your yarn bunch, to create the hair. Trim it up if need be.
* To finish off your Paper Bowl Unicorn, lay the paper bowl with the under side facing up on your work station.
* Next have children glue {or staple} their cardstock pieces in place on the bowl, as well as the yarn hair.
* Follow that up by grabbing the marker and drawing on two eyelashes with the black sharpie marker.
* Finally add any other embellishments they see fit {like glitter, heart stickers etc.} before displaying proudly!
* Remember to encourage your child to really add their own crafty spin along the way!!!
