Paper & Chalk Unicorn Craft For Kids To Recreate!
Today I encourage you and your child to have a go at making your very own COLORFULÂ paper unicorn art piece with just cardstock paper and sidewalk chalk!
I’m stepping up my “chalk art” game on the Glued To My Crafts website with our latest crafty idea where we use Crayola chalk to make beautiful {and vibrant!} unicorn hair on paper. I hope it inspires you and your child this afternoon!
Just like our previous chalk art tutorials, today we are bringing the outdoor chalk back from winter hibernation but bringing it to your kitchen table instead. This time with a unicorn theme!
With all that being said, our super fun and easy paper unicorn with chalk hair craft idea is going to be rather inexpensive for you to pull together today. All you need is a few pieces of brightly colored chalk, dark colored construction paper and our free unicorn body printable listed below. That’s it! I could even see this idea being done easily with a large crowd a slumber party, at summer camp and even birthday parties. Even adults can participate in making this one as well!
So what are we waiting for?! All the details and the free unicorn shape printable can be found below. Don’t let this crafty abstract idea slip away. Bookmark it now and later this week, make some colorful “one-of-a-kind” chalk art unicorn hair with the kids & then show off those creations, with pride, with us! We love seeing those pictures in real time so be sure to tag us on Facebook or add #gluedtomycrafts in the description!
Happy crafting, my dear friends! I can’t wait to see how beautiful your paper and chalk unicorn craft creations turn out!!
