Rearing Unicorn Coloring Page

About this page

Balanced on its hind legs, a unicorn rears up with both front legs bent and raised in front of its chest. The body leans back slightly in a graceful, upright pose, and the head faces right with a gentle smile and one eye with a lash. A horn with spiral stripes points toward the upper right, with one ear behind it. A long, wavy mane flows down the back of the neck and spreads to the left, and the tail sweeps out in loose strands at the lower left. The back hooves rest on the ground at the bottom. The page has no scenery, so the whole outline is a single large figure on white paper. The long mane and tail give a few narrow strips to color, while the wide body is simple, which makes this easy page work for kids.
