Kids love fairy tales and the incredible characters associated with them like unicorns, flying horses, phoenixes, and mermaids. Aren’t unicorns magical creatures? You can bring this magic straight to your children’s rooms through our unicorn coloring pages. Unicorns are amazing creatures that were first introduced in European fables. A unicorn closely resembles a horse; the only exception is a single horn protruding from its forehead. A few renditions have facial hair and hooves of a goat. Their horns can neutralize poison, and even turn poisoned water into potable liquid.
Unicorns feature widely in children’s cartoons, literature, and movies. They often appear as sidekicks of maidens and princesses. They are also depicted as protectors of the land or kingdom, as a whole. Similar to most mythological creatures, most legendary unicorns are not evil. They symbolize purity, beauty, and magical strength.
