1. Horse Diorama Magic
Create a breathtaking 3D scene with just a shoebox, glue, and scissors!
Use two identical horse coloring pages—one for the background and one for the cut-out horse.
Shade in the background on one page and color the horse on the other.
Carefully cut out the horse, leaving a small tab below the hooves.

Let kids experiment with different artistic styles—each one will be unique!
For a stunning 3D effect, twist red and green tissue paper into roses and glue them onto the page.
3. Mosaic Horses
Transform a simple coloring page into a vibrant mosaic masterpiece!
Cut small pieces of construction paper in various shades (brown for the horse, green for grass, blue for sky).
Layer and glue the tiny scraps over the coloring page to create a textured look.
Adjust the size of the pieces based on age and skill level—smaller for older kids, larger for younger ones.
4. Horse Plant Decorations
Brighten up your plants with adorable horse-themed markers!
Color in the horse using crayons, markers, or colored pencils.
Carefully cut out the horse shape (younger kids might need help).
Glue the horse onto a popsicle stick—one for small figures, two for larger ones.
Insert the decorated stick into potted plants for a charming touch!
Bonus: Laminate the cut-out so it lasts longer and resists water.

Once dry, create a frame from black construction paper and attach the horse silhouette to the wax paper.
Hang it in a window for a dazzling stained-glass effect!

Craft a free-standing horse sculpture with just a toilet paper roll!

The finished craft will stand on its own four hooves!
