Dashing Through the Forest: Nella and Trinket the Unicorn

A young girl knight in a small helmet and armor dashes across a forest clearing, holding a sword in one hand and a round shield on her arm. Beside her, a smiling unicorn with a long wavy mane, a bow, a saddle with straps and a heart-shaped pendant gallops along with a swishing tail that ends in a star and crescent moon shape. This looks like Nella the Princess Knight with her unicorn friend Trinket. Around them are large trees, a tree stump, grassy bushes, a few small hills and three butterflies fluttering nearby. The big open areas in the trees and hills are easy for little hands to fill in. Try pastel pinks and purples for the unicorn's mane and a shiny silver for the armor, then use greens and browns to make the woods feel like a sunny afternoon. The printable page also works well for a storytime pause.
