Unicorns are an open invitation to color freely, since there is no right answer. Many children go for rainbow manes, pastel bodies and gold horns. You can share that the unicorn is a very old legend, and that it is the national animal of Scotland, which surprises most adults too. Ask kids what magic their unicorn has and where it lives. Pinks, purples, blues and sparkles all fit.
Rainbow manes work well when each strand of hair gets one color in rainbow order. For extra sparkle, add glitter glue or a metallic marker to the horn after the crayon is done.
