They represent rarity, magic, fantasy, and kindness. Unicorns are much more on paper than just a horse with a horn. Now that science has discovered historical fossil remains that suggested āancient unicornsā existed over 29,000 years agoā¦I was so excited I just had to show you my version of the fictional unicorn drawn in a simpler and easier way.

šļø Tools For Success
- Paper (Our Free How To Draw Template PDF)
- Pencil
- Polymer Eraser
- Outline Markers
- Coloring Tools (I recommend Crayolaās 140 Piece Coloring Case)
šØ Parents:Ā The only tools you need to use these how-to-draw tutorials are: an eraser, a pencil, and a piece of paper. But ā if you have them around ā a sketching pencil makes for fainter and softer lines that help kids build fine motor accuracy. I also recommend going over the sketch pencil with a black outline marker when youāre done for a neater finish. Lastly, erase the pencil marks before adding color.

EASY Unicorn Step By Step for Kids:
1. Start with a pointed ear like the steep roof of a house.
2. Next, connect the ear to the face + snout of the unicorn in a lopsided half football shape.
3. From the head, draw a thick neck stretching down to the body.
4. Sketch out the round outline of a long oval body that will become the unicorn.
5. Now the next important thing is legs; unicorns have 2 front legs and 2 hind legs. On the left side of the body, draw out a cone shape with the wide side down. Draw a cone shape leg on the right side of the body again.
6. Now add 2 more legs in the back, partially hidden, on both ends of front and hind legs.
7. Add the unicorn horn on the top of the head, this is a simple cone like pictured. But you can add a slight curve to the cone shape horn as some unicorns are thought to have.
8. Give the unicorn life by drawing a big eye on the side of the head. I used black but unicorn eyes can be any color (red, purple, blue etc.)
9. Draw a unicorn mane (as long and fluffy as you want) with 3 soft waves on the back of the neck.
10. Next draw a small fluff of mane on top of the head too.
11. On the upper rump of the unicorn, draw a fluffy tail, and voila! You just drew a very simple unicorn. See, unicorns donāt have to be hard!
DONE? NOW GET CREATIVE!
Add in whatever color, cutie mark, or pattern you want on the unicorn. We went with a bright magenta mane and plain white body just like Agnesās stuffed unicorn. If you want more unicorn inspirations, check out this unicorn-themed coloring page gallery.
