Directions
Download the unicorn template, print and cut out the pieces.
Take the unicorn bang piece and place a bit of glue along the bottom side of the back. Position it on the unicorn’s head so that the left end goes behind the left ear and over the right ear.
Place glue along the right side of the unicorn mane and place it behind the unicorn’s head, with the tip of the mane behind the left ear.
You want it to look like both mane pieces are one, so rotate it until it looks fluid.
Glue the unicorn’s horn in the middle of the bangs. Next, put some glue along the top of the neck. Slide this piece behind the unicorn’s head and mane and glue in place.

Start off with a fun unicorn book like this silly unicorn book, or this other fun unicorn book. After you’ve read a few books, why not have your child work on handwriting practice with some other letter u worksheets?
