Download the printable activity resource; the activity steps are provided below.
Step 1 – Set-up
Print out the image provided and place a clean A4 piece of paper over it; use a little bit of sticky tape to join them together.
Step 2 – Tracing the image
Stick the pieces of paper against a window so the outside light shines through – you should now see your horse clearly! Use a lead pencil to lightly trace the outline and any details that you can see.
Step 3 – Adding some colour
When you’re done tracing, you can make your horse any colour you like – is it white? Brown? Chestnut? Black? Or maybe it has a white patch on one eye!
Step 4 – Cutting it out
When you’re done colouring it in you could cut it out, stick it to some cardboard, or even add a paddle pop stick at the base of it’s neck.
