A unicorn kids’ party—also called a unicorn birthday party—is the dream of many children who love magic, color, and glitter. This enchanting theme is all about the mythical unicorn, with its rainbow mane and sparkling unicorn horn. During a party like this, children are whisked into a fairytale world full of cheerful decorations, creative activities, and, of course, beautiful unicorn face painting. Think crafting, games, and pastel-colored treats that complete the celebration. In this blog, you’ll discover everything you need to organize a magical unicorn party that kids won’t soon forget—from décor ideas to creative craft projects.
What is a unicorn birthday party?
A unicorn birthday party is a themed celebration where everything revolves around the enchanting world of the unicorn. This magical creature symbolizes imagination, joy, and color. During a unicorn party, children are immersed in a dreamy atmosphere with pastels, rainbows, and—naturally—the iconic unicorn horn.
At Mia’s Magic, a unicorn party starts with a creative activity where the children make their own beautiful unicorn hair piece. Using cheerful rings, ribbons, and clips, they transform their hairstyle into a magical creation that perfectly matches the theme. Next comes unicorn face painting: the children are transformed into real unicorns with glitter, rainbow details, and an authentic unicorn horn on their head. They don’t just have a party—they step right into the world of unicorns.

Step by step: Here’s what a Mia’s Magic party looks like
A unicorn birthday party by Mia’s Magic is completely hands‑on: creative, colorful, and full of glitter. Here’s how a typical unicorn party unfolds, step by step.
1) Warm welcome & theme intro
We start with a brief introduction and an overview of the program. The children dive straight into the magical vibe of the unicorn kids’ party—pastel colors, rainbows, and of course… the unicorn horn.
2) Make magical unicorn hair
The children first get to work creating beautiful unicorn hairpiece. With rings, ribbons, and clips, they decorate their hairpiece. This creative moment sets the tone and gives everyone a unique look for the unicorn party.
3) Turn their own hair into unicorn hair
Then we secure the hairpiece in their hair with an elastic. For children with short hair, I always bring headbands: this way the hairpiece can also be attached onto a headband, so everyone can join in—regardless of hair length.
4) Transform into a real unicorn
Now it’s time for unicorn face paint: glitter, rainbow details, and highlights bring each face to life. As a finishing touch, every child receives a real handmade unicorn horn for the complete look. We use professional face paint that complies with European cosmetic regulations.
5) Photo moment
With all the sparkling unicorns ready, we plan a short photo moment (ideally in front of a festive backdrop). Perfect for capturing the magical transformation—and the moment for cake or unicorn‑style treats.
6) Closing & keepsake
We wrap up with a little thank‑you. The children head home with their self‑made unicorn hair (or headband) and a face full of unicorn face paint—a memory they’ll talk about for a long time.

Why parents and kids love it
A unicorn kids’ party by Mia’s Magic scores high with both kids and parents—and here’s why:
