Easy Craft for Kids

Majestic animals are known for their grace and speed, the horse! Horses come in many different breeds and colors AND if you believe in magic… some believe in a mythical horse that bares a horn on the top of its head with the gift of flight. If you are a lover of unicorns and horses, enjoy this fun craft with a FREE downloadable template.

How Do You Make a Horse Out of a Paper Cup?

1. After printing the free template, carefully cut around each shape. You’ll also need a paper cup and googly eyes (or you can draw your own with a marker). 

2. Flip the cup upside down and glue the mouth near the bottom just above the rim of the cup. Glue the hair on top and ears on either side. Don’t forget the eyes! 

3. Glue the tail from behind the cup. Have the tail stick out over the top to make the tail look like it’s waving in the wind! 

4. Your beautiful horse is complete! If you have extra paper, why not cut out a triangle shape to make your horse into a unicorn!
