You can be thankful to other moms who came up with this genius idea. If you can believe it, they are making pretty unicorns — out of pool noodles! What? How do you do that?

Ha, ha! I know what you mean.

I was a little baffled about this when I first heard of the idea. But now that I see it, I totally get the appeal. Imagine how much fun your kids would have with these little guys?

So how does one go about making these pool noodle unicorns?

The concept is pretty simple and you only need a few supplies to make these. First of all, you need pool noodles. That's pretty obvious. So run to the dollar store to get some.

Here's a list of other things you will need.

Get some felt, a 3x2 inch foam cone, giant googly eyes, glue, scissors, and ribbons. The first thing you need to do is fold the top of the pool noodle and tie it like this. This will make the unicorn's head. Then, you just decorate it any way you like.

The final step is to add a decorative horn to make the pool noodle horse resemble a unicorn.

Awe, how cute is that huh? I love this idea. It's so easy to do, really. It's also a great craft to do with your kids.

Now your kiddos will have so much fun jumping around with their unicorn.

This idea is also super cool for a birthday party. You can make a pool noodle unicorn for every child who attends it. They can even take it home as a souvenir.

Take a look at these adorable unicorns here.

Aren't they so pretty? I love how easy and creative this idea is for the whole family to do together. And afterward, everybody can enjoy these fabulous unicorns. You can even use them as fun party decor.

So are you ready to get crafty this summer?

I think I'm going to make this and give it to my niece. I know she would totally love it. And her parents will be so happy to have her preoccupied playing with her new toy for hours, ha, ha.
