We are crazy about unicorns here at 'All Things Unicorn' so we couldn't resist sharing with you some fun unicorn images that you can save to print out for a fun colouring in activity with your children that will help keep them amused for a little while!

Colouring in is a great activity for children with lots of hidden benefits to stimulate and provide an opportunity to learn whilst having fun at the same time.

Colouring In is great for kids in the following ways:

1) It helps children develop the all important hand strength that is vital.

2) It enables practice of the pincer grip which is needed for writing.

3) It supports hand eye co-ordination.

4) Using different coloured pencils and crayons are a great way to practice learning the colours with your child, allowing them to name them as they use them. 

5) Sitting down to colour in allows the child to have some quiet time encouraging focus onto one activity, developing patience and providing some relaxation.

6) Colouring in supports development of fine motor skills. This is developed by the child strengthening muscles used in their wrists, hands and fingers- this in turn helps a child write and manipulate tiny objects in a better way.

7) Allows creativity to flourish. Through the use of different colours a child can express their creativity through colour, and introduce them to seeing things in an aesthetic way- how certain colours look together, the difference between light and dark colours.

8) Sitting down to colour something in can be a very relaxing and therapeutic activity for a child. The concentration needed can give a sense of calm and allow them to engage in their imagination whilst colouring in the picture.

9) Learning to colour in between the lines actually teaches a child about spatial awareness and boundaries. It helps them to understand the boundaries of space inside the lines, the shapes and the patterns and forms of the drawings.

10) Colouring something in can give a child a sense of achievement at the end- they have something solid at the end for their hard work that they can show others in order to be proud of something they have done.
