Unicorn in a Box Coloring Page

About this page

A baby unicorn pops its head and front hooves out of a big open cardboard box. The box has four flaps folded outward, two on each side, and a plain front panel with a few simple edges. The face fills the upper middle, with a big rounded muzzle and a smile, two dot eyes with lashes, and two ears at the sides. A striped horn rises from the top of the head, and a lock of mane curls down to the right. Both small hooves rest on the front edge of the box, as though the unicorn is about to climb out. There is no ribbon or bow, so the box can be any package you imagine. The box sides are wide, empty panels, so this easy page is a nice fit for kids who like big, clear areas.
