_______

Cut a circle moon from metallic gold cardstock, and a horn from red.

Place the unicorn head inside a frisbee. To make things less messy, you could line the frisbee with a paper circle first.

Tip: A shallow box or a baking tray could also be used for the art project.

Pour red, yellow, blue, white, and black tempera paint into small paint cups.

With spoons, drip each color onto the unicorn head.

Drop two marbles into the frisbee.

Tip the disc from side to side, and watch the marbles drag the paint around.

Take the paper unicorn out of the frisbee when you are done and let it dry on a flat surface.

Using a glue stick, adhere the unicorn onto a yellow construction paper background. Add a sparkling red horn, and a gold moon.
