Fun Facts About Unicorns
Unicorns are mythical creatures that appear in lots of old stories and coats of arms. People once said their horn had magical powers and could clean water. In the Middle Ages, tusks from the narwhal, a whale from Arctic waters, were sold for high prices as so-called unicorn horns. Scotland even made the unicorn its national animal. Today, unicorns are one of the most popular birthday party themes around.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What age is this mask suitable for?
The unicorn headband is made for ages 5 to 8. Kids color and cut it out themselves, and an adult helps glue the tabs and fit it to the child's head.
Will the mask fit a child’s face?
Yes – printed at actual size (100 %) on A4 or US Letter, the mask is roughly the size of a child’s face. For adults, scale it up to 110–115 % or print on A3/Tabloid.
What paper works best?
We recommend heavier cardstock around 200 gsm (about 110 lb) so the headband holds its shape. For bigger heads, add an extra paper strip to lengthen the band.
Is the download free?
Yes, all masks and coloring pages on PureSketchy are 100% free for personal use, preschools, and schools.
Is there a German version?
Yes! You can find the German version at Einhorn-Haarreif.
