The unicorn is a very ancient fairy-tale character. The first mentions of it were found in India and date back to the 4th century BC. This mythical creature appears in the literature of ancient China, Russia, and European and Islamic countries. Interestingly, in the Middle Ages the unicorn was considered a completely real animal that any lucky person might see.
According to legend, fairies and wizards rode a beautifully graceful horse with one horn. Legends say that this proud animal has a rather stubborn nature, and only a young girl can tame it. Unicorn coloring pages help your child feel like a true trainer of magical creatures. Girls especially love these sweet magical horses.
Today researchers believe the famous mythical image may have been inspired by the Indian rhinoceros, as well as African antelopes that often lose one of their horns during fights. Travelers may once have seen animals like these. In modern Europe, there are also roe deer that grow only one horn because of genetic traits. The last such animal found in the wild was discovered in 2008.
Traditionally, a unicorn is believed to have white or cream fur, a golden mane, and blue eyes. But in modern fairy tales and cartoons, such as Friendship Is Magic, you can see characters in many different colors. When choosing unicorn coloring pages, there is no need to limit imagination to traditional ideas. This fairy-tale creature can be any color. Let your child give the magical horse a unique look by choosing the most unexpected shades.
