September STORY TIME!

Uni the unicorn

This month we are reading Uni the Unicorn by Amy Krouse Rosenthal and illustrated by Brigette Barrager. Below is the information on how to tune in to our story time (available on the museum Facebook page) as well as a D.I.Y craft to make your own Unicorn horn at home! We hope to see you there!

D.I.Y Unicorn Horn Instructions
Get some paper! To make your unicorn horn, you will need a piece of thicker. paper. Cardstock or scrapbooking paper would be best but construction paper will work too!



Cut a cone shape out of the paper. Draw a large triangle with a rounded bottom on the paper. Cut along the outline of the triangle. Then, cut the tip off of the top of the triangle so it has a flat top





Roll your paper into a cone. Start on one side of the triangle and roll it towards the other side, making the triangle form a cone shape. Tape or glue the outer edge of the cone to secure it. Then, put a piece of tape on the edge of the paper in the inside of the cone to make it sturdy





Attach some ribbon or elastic. Use glue, tape or a hot glue gun to glue a ribbon or piece of elastic to the base of the horn. Glue one side of the ribbon to the inside of one side of the horn, then repeat with the other side. 




Decorate your unicorn horn. You can decorate your unicorn horn to add finishing touches and make it unique. Be creative and express yourself! Your horn is entirely unique and personal so add your own magic in anyway you see fit!
Make sure to post your creations online using the hashtag #HCFM so we can see your final creations!
