Pool Party Unicorn Friend - Paper Kid Craft

Craft Supplies:

  • Free Printable – grab it on box.com
  • White Cardstock Paper {one per printable}
  • Color Printer
  • Crayons, Colored Pencils, Markers etc.
  • Paper Craft Scissors
  • Small Paper Plate {one per unicorn craft}
  • Blue Cardstock Paper {one per unicorn craft}
  • School Glue or Glue Stick
  • optional materials – small rhinestones, glitter, summer themed stickers etc.

Directions:

  • First things first. We are going to download and print the FREE unicorn friend file listed above. You only need ONE unicorn print per craft.
  • Use your choice of coloring medium to color in the unicorn’s hair, horn, it’s body etc. Add as much or as little color as you like to really customize it.
  • Once done decorating it, use scissors to trim out the unicorn shape.
  • Discard excess paper and set aside the unicorn piece.
  • Now grab your small paper plate, the scissors and again, choice of coloring medium.
  • Cut out a small circle from the center of the paper plate, to create the opening for the unicorn to sit in. My best suggestion is to imagine a donut.
  • Now go ahead and also decorate the paper plate inner tube however you like.
  • When done, grab a single sheet of blue cardstock and choice of adhesive.
  • Go ahead and glue the “paper plate pool float” to the center of your blue cardstock.
  • Follow that up by gluing your decorated friend piece to the center of the float. You want it to look like she is floating and relaxing in it.
  • At this point you can also add other embellishments {like fun pool themed stickers, glitter, rhinestones} that you see fit to really make it your own.
  • Then display your inner tube floating unicorn masterpiece proudly for all to see!
