Just as the horse-like creature can jump, kids also like to jump, leap and bounce. An inflatable rainbow unicorn bounce house is just a perfect toy for kids to have fun on that day. You can rent one from your local area’s party rental companies if they have one.

Except eating all the day, taking a tour with kids in a wonderful amusement park or themed park is the most fun quality time you can get with kids. The Disney magic kingdom is such a beautiful place for families to hang out, highly recommended.

Unicorn TV Shows and Movies

Maybe after the outing, sit down with kids to enjoy some unicorn related shows and films. On the top of my mind, I would recommend My Little Pony, Despicable Me (there is a fluffy plush unicorn in it), Toy Story 3 (Buttercup), and the last but not the least, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.

Any other ideas? I’ll try make a simple list, let you dig into details.

  • Coloring an unicorn, this activity fits for small children to do at home
  • Wearing a unicorn costume
  • Unicorn face painting
  • Watching animated movies with unicorns (I was told despicable me 3 has an unicorn, or is it?)
  • Learning a song about unicorn
  • Playing a video game which unicorn is the character players control
