Mandala Unicorn Rearing Inside a Star Border

A unicorn rears up on its back legs inside a round frame, with its front legs folded and raised and its long mane and tail flowing out behind. The horn is spiral-ridged, and the face has a decorated mask-like pattern around the eye. The body is filled with overlapping scallop shapes, and large petal and leaf designs sit on the shoulder, belly and hip. Dotted lines and paisley-style shapes run down the neck. Around the unicorn, a circular border repeats small stars inside circles, with a ring of dots just inside it. Try colored pencils or fine markers, using one color family for the scallops and a contrasting shade for the big petals so the pattern stands out. The smooth mane and tail are good spots for soft blending. This free page suits older kids and teens who like detailed work, and the repeating stars give younger kids an easy place to start.
