Unicorn Cup Craft

Instructions

Step 1:

To make this plastic cup unicorn you need to print out the PDF templates and cut out the pieces carefully using scissors.

You can cut them out on colored craft papers of your choosing or alternatively print them on white paper and let young kids color them in. You can see what colors of paper I used below. The choice is yours.

My 5 year old is a coloring addict and I know this would be her preferred option.

I guess if you had lots of time and wanted to spread the activity out over an hour you could do the coloring method. Use coloring pencils, markers or even paints.

Step 2:

First, glue the small ear pieces inside the larger pieces.

Then, glue the pollen bits inside the flower (use small circular pieces of craft papers to make the round pollen)

Now, draw the nostrils and lips on the mouthpiece.

Colour the fringe using colourful marker pens.

Step 3:

Draw the eyes for the unicorn using a black marker pen. Add some pretty eyelashes in black also. My 5 year old was able to do this step as her fine motor skills are pretty good.

Step 4:

Now, glue the horn on the top of the plastic cup.

Step 5:

Then, glue the two ears on two sides of the horn. These look very similar to bunny ears!

Step 6:

Glue the mouth on the centre of the plastic cup.

Step 7:

Then glue the cheeks on two sides. You can draw these on if you prefer.

Step 8:

Now glue the fringe on the front right below the horn.

Step 9:

Cut out the strips for the unicorn’s hair from the printable template

Step 10:

Use a thin rounded stick to roll the paper strips and make them swirly. This means our unicorn's hair will not be straight but will be curly. In fact they almost look like ringlets.

Step 11:

Make two sets of hair strips. One for the right hand side and one of the left hand side.

Step 12:

Glue the hair on both sides.

Step 13:

Finish it off by gluing the flowers on the front. This is like her headband
