15 Free Magical Unicorn Coloring Pages for Kids With Curls and Braids
Children can send a unicorn past the moon and give it a castle to come home to. There is room in that imagined world for curls, puffs, and braids they recognize, too.
These magical unicorn coloring pages bring a little of the familiar into a make-believe adventure. These coloring sheets are for the kids who love rainbows and glitter and also need to hear that they are magic exactly as they are.
You can sit beside your child, choose a character, and see where their story goes, even if it begins with a purple mane and a very unexpected name. Print them at home and let every child color their own magical unicorn.

A Note from Louisa (Founder of MyKidColors)
My dad bought us fairy tales when I was growing up, including Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and The Frog Prince. Books were part of our home, alongside the games and stories we made for ourselves.
Sometimes the television had nothing on. Sometimes there was no electricity. We read, played outside, and found things to do with our imagination.
As a mother, I want to leave room for that kind of childhood, too: a story that grows as a child tells it, a character they can make their own, a little time together without needing a screen.
If you’re choosing a page for a child you love, I hope you’ll find a place to begin here. A familiar hairstyle can travel into an unfamiliar world, and you can follow along while they decide what happens next.
Conversation Corner: 3 Questions to Ask While Coloring
Ask one question at a time. Children can answer by speaking, pointing, signing, drawing, or using their communication device. They can also keep coloring and let you share an idea first.
- Three Unicorns Together (Page 3): “What would you name this unicorn?”
- The Flower Garden (Page 7): “Who might this unicorn meet in the garden?”
- A Journey Among the Stars (Page 11): “Where is this unicorn going next?”
For a simpler choice, point to two unicorns on Page 3 and ask which one your child would like to color first. There is no need to compare the mane with their own hair unless they want to.
The Collection: 15 Free Magical Unicorn Coloring Pages
We organized these into three sets to help kids explore imagination and self-belief, from gentle, friendly unicorns to bold cosmic adventures.
Some unicorns have wings, some have curls or braids, and some travel through imaginary settings. Use these imaginary settings for stories your child invents.
The groups below keep the original page order. Select by the size of the spaces and the subject your child likes. Page 1 has many small stars, while Page 6 has a relatively plain background, so the first five are not automatically the easiest.
Unicorn Portraits, Friends, Rainbows, and Wings (Pages 1-5)
For a single character, try Page 4 or 5. Page 1 has a large central face but lots of small shapes in its mane, and Page 3 includes overlapping characters.
- Page 1: A Unicorn With a Full Curly Mane. A front-facing unicorn is surrounded by a cloud of curls, stars, spirals, and dots. Children can color the face first or work through the smaller shapes in the mane a few at a time.
- Pages 2 and 3: Princess Friends and a Unicorn Trio. Two crowned girls stand before a castle in the companion princess picture. Next, three unicorns gather with a rounded afro-style mane, long braided strands, and other textured hair details. Each can have a name, a different color palette, or a part in the same story.
- Pages 4 and 5: Rainbows and a Winged Flight. A unicorn with a curly mane stands among rainbow arcs and clouds. The following page shows a winged unicorn lifting through the sky, with broad feathers and cloud shapes to color.

Decorative Armor, Flowers, Gems, and a Royal Scene (Pages 6-10)
These pictures offer different kinds of detail, from broad leg and body shapes to tiny facets, flowers, clothing folds, and jewelry.
- Page 6: A Unicorn in Decorative Armor. A unicorn with a full mane wears a chest piece, shoulder covering, and bands around its legs. Its plain background makes this a useful choice for children who want to concentrate on one character and a few accessories.
- Pages 7 and 8: A Flower Garden and a Gemstone Setting. A unicorn stands among large leaves, flowers, and a butterfly. Next, a resting unicorn is surrounded by tall crystal-like shapes and scattered faceted gems. Treat the gems as fantasy scenery or an opportunity to try colors and shading.
- Pages 9 and 10: A Princess on a Throne and a Rainbow Trail. The second princess-only page shows a crowned girl seated on a throne. A unicorn follows on the next page, rearing beneath a rainbow-shaped trail with stars and droplets. It is not shown physically jumping over the rainbow.

Space, Plants, Patterned Marks, and the Cover Collage (Pages 11-15)
Page 11 has many small celestial shapes. Pages 12 and 14 have larger character areas, while Page 15 combines several unicorns with lettering and a bunny.
- Page 11: Among Planets and Stars. A unicorn with a sweeping patterned mane floats through a scene of ringed planets, stars, and spiral shapes. Use it as an imaginary space journey, with any colors the child chooses.
- Pages 12 and 13: A Standing Unicorn and Three Connected Figures. A unicorn stands beside leafy plants beneath radiating lines. The next page arranges three unicorns of different sizes with looping lines and several unlabeled marks around the largest mane. The marks are not explained in the picture, so there is no need to assign them meanings when telling a story.
- Pages 14 and 15: Through the Frames and a Full Fantasy Cover. A unicorn steps through floating geometric frames with fragments around it. The final collage brings together four unicorns, a small bunny, stars, clouds, and the printed phrases “I AM MAGICAL” and “MY POWER IS REAL.” Children who enjoy lettering can color the words along with the characters.

Unicorn Activities for Story Time, Parties, and Quiet Afternoons
A few crayons and one picture are enough to begin. Add an activity only if your child wants to keep exploring.
- Name a trio with Page 3. Color the unicorns and choose a name for one or all three. Write the names beneath the picture or let a child dictate them. Ask what the characters enjoy doing together if they want to continue the story.
- Make two versions of a mane. Print Page 6 twice and try different colors for the mane and armor. Children can invent two separate characters or imagine one unicorn getting ready for two adventures.
- Create a tiny storybook with Pages 5, 7, and 11. Choose one scene for a beginning, one for a middle, and one for an ending. An adult can write a sentence dictated for each page, or a child can add a small drawing to show what happens. The order can be anything they choose.
- Set up a pick-your-page party table. Offer a portrait, a garden, and a sky scene rather than assigning every guest the same design. Add crayons or washable markers and a space for names on the back. Children can color one page or part of one and take it home.
- Make a rainbow color strip beside Page 4. Draw a row of boxes on spare paper and test the crayons before using them in the rainbow. Children can follow a familiar rainbow order or invent one for this fantasy picture.
For more scenes to choose from, explore our unicorn coloring pages. Children drawn to the two royal companion pictures may also enjoy our Black princess coloring pages.
Human-Drawn Curls, Braids, Feathers, and Clouds
The rounded mane on one unicorn, the long strands on another, and the feathers of a wing invite different approaches to coloring. Some children may fill the broad body shapes first; others may want to begin with a single tiny star.
MyKidColors works with human illustrators to create these pages. The collection brings familiar hair textures into fantasy creatures and includes Black princess characters, with room for children to choose colors and invent stories of their own.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these magical unicorn coloring pages free?
The individual JPG images on this page are free to save. Right-click an image on a computer or press and hold it on a phone, then save and print it from your device. The complete 15-page PDF has a minimum price of $1.99 through Payhip, with an optional higher contribution. A download link is emailed after purchase.
Can I turn the “My Power Is Real” page into an affirmation poster?
Yes. Print Page 15 on cardstock, let your child color it in their favorite bold colors, and hang it by their bed or desk. For an extra touch, have them write their own affirmation in the margin, such as “I am brave” or “I am kind.”
Which pages work best for a unicorn party or a group activity?
Pages 3 and 13 are ideal because each shows three unicorns together, so kids can color one unicorn each and swap seats or share with friends. Page 10 is a great pick for younger guests, since the big rainbow and stars are easy to color.
How do I encourage my child to color a unicorn’s fluffy afro or braided mane?
Invite them to use short, swirly marker or crayon strokes for the afro on Page 1 and long, layered lines for the braids on Page 3. Let them choose any colors they like, from natural black and brown to purple, teal, or rainbow shades, since a magical mane can be any color at all
Download Your Magical Unicorn Coloring Pages
A unicorn can keep the same name across three pages or become someone new each time. Your child can decide where the rainbow leads, who lives beyond the garden, and whether the princess is waiting for a visitor or setting off on an adventure herself.
Choose a picture, make a little time, and let them tell you what happens next.
