Unicorn Sleeping on a Cloud Coloring Page

About this page

Curled up fast asleep, a small unicorn rests its head on its front hooves on top of a puffy cloud. Its eyelashes are drawn as two sweeping lines over closed eyes, and a small smile suggests a sweet dream. The horn has a spiral stripe, the mane drapes forward over the face in waves, and the tail curls up at the right in a neat swirl. A big crescent moon hangs in the upper right, its curve opening toward the cloud. The cloud has a bumpy scalloped edge that spreads across the bottom, forming a bed for the sleeping animal. With only a few big shapes, there is lots of room for soft color, and it is the swirling tail that offers the finest strips. This medium page is a gentle fit for kids at bedtime or quiet time.
