About these unicorn coloring pages
Unicorn coloring pages are pure magic for kids who love rainbows, stars and sparkles. A unicorn is a blank canvas: a white horse with a single horn that can become pink, purple, turquoise or every color of the rainbow at once. Our free unicorn pages include baby unicorns in meadows, unicorns leaping over rainbows, unicorns with flower crowns and detailed fantasy scenes with castles and clouds for older kids and adults.
Print any page on US Letter or A4 paper, or color it online with a tap-to-fill brush. Easy pages have big shapes and thick lines for little hands; detailed pages have flowing manes and patterned backgrounds that keep teens and grown-ups busy for an afternoon.
Why unicorns are so popular
Unicorns sit right between real animals and pure fantasy. They look like horses, which children know, but they are magical, which lets imagination take over. There are no wrong colors on a unicorn page, and that freedom is exactly what makes coloring relaxing and confidence-building.
The unicorn is also an old symbol. It appears in stories from ancient Greece, medieval Europe and Asia, and it is the national animal of Scotland. Today it stands for kindness, uniqueness and a little bit of magic, which is why unicorn pages are a favorite for birthdays and gifts.
Unicorn pages for every mood

Coloring tips and color ideas
- Color the mane and tail in rainbow stripes: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, in that order.
- Leave the body white or very light pink so the colorful mane stands out.
- Add sparkle with a gel pen, a silver marker or tiny dots of white over the colors.
- Use a pastel palette (pink, lilac, mint, baby blue) for a soft, dreamy page.
- Make the horn shine: color it gold or yellow and leave a thin white stripe down one side.
- Color the sky with a gradient from purple at the top to pink near the ground.
