It seems like the unicorn has been around forever. This legendary creature has been an all time favorite of my daughter. It has been depicted on shows, ancient seals, and embedded in books, old and new. The unicorn was said to have power in it’s horn. If you want to learn more just google it and you will see the popularity of this mystical creature.

How it flies

We created a super easy unicorn that flies (with some help) see video below. If you want it to fly on its own, you must drop it from a balcony, or somewhere high with a drop off. Or you can attach a string, and spin around like we did in the video. Be sure to stick around for the free printable for this craft.

Steps to make this mystical creature

The first step is to print out our free printable flying unicorn. (You can find the free printable at the end of the how to section) We used card stock paper. It was much more durable for this activity. Have your children or yourself color the unicorns on the paper.

After everything is colored, cut out the boxed unicorns and the top part that will fly

When you have folded all the lines glue your mystical creature to the helicopter top. You will also glue the two unicorns together on the bottom. Make sure your picture is facing out.

The last step is adding a paper clip and string to the end. I just tied the string to the paper clip and then put it on the unicorn’s tail. and voila your unicorn is ready to fly.
