coloring pages for fifth graders printable
So, my daughter—who’s absolutely obsessed with unicorns—has found her new favorite coloring page, and let me tell you, it’s pretty epic! It’s this coloring page for fifth graders featuring none other than a “Unicorn Lady” (because, of course, even unicorns have to step it up when you hit 5th grade, right?).
Right at the top, there’s this bold, fun “5th Grade – Time for School” inscription, because, well, school is serious business now! But the background? Oh, it’s loaded with all the usual school gear: an apple (for the teacher, obviously), books, pencils, a ruler, an eraser, and all those essential supplies that scream “I’m ready for another year of learning!”
My daughter’s been having a blast coloring it in, adding her personal rainbow touch to everything—especially that unicorn, who, in her world, always has sparkly wings. It’s like the perfect mix of her two favorite things: unicorns and school. And I swear, it makes her more excited to actually get ready for the day.
Unicorns, man, they have some kind of magical power over these kids.
And you know, I’ve got to admit, it’s kind of fun seeing how seriously she takes her unicorns. She’s sitting there, pencils scattered everywhere, making sure the unicorn lady has just the right shade of glittery pink hair and the apple is as red as can be—like, this is an important mission. She’s even talking to herself, deciding what color the ruler should be, because apparently, rulers need to be fabulous too.
I’m over here just trying to keep up with her enthusiasm. I thought I’d be the dad teaching math and reading, but nope, now I’m a “color consultant” for unicorns. The best part? She’s so into it that even her school supplies get a little makeover—rainbow erasers and glitter-covered notebooks, all thanks to these coloring sessions.
Honestly, I love it. Watching her dive into this mix of creativity and back-to-school excitement reminds me how special these moments are. It’s like, yeah, 5th grade is a big deal, but adding a unicorn into the mix somehow makes it less… stressful. She’s more excited to start the year because, let’s face it, if a unicorn lady can rock the 5th grade, so can she.
She’s completely absorbed, making sure the unicorn’s mane is just the right shade of “magical.” Meanwhile, I’m struggling to figure out how to make a pencil look, well, like a pencil.
She’s got this whole back-to-school vibe going—books, rulers, apples—like she’s prepping her unicorn lady for a big day in 5th grade. And let me tell you, the unicorn’s got better school supplies than I ever had growing up. Who knew a ruler could look that cool? I guess when you’re 10, even a rubber and a pencil can be accessories if you add a little sparkle.
But here’s the thing—she’s got this whole narrative going as she colors. “Daddy, this unicorn is getting ready for her first day too, and she’s a little nervous.” And I’m like, “Really? You think a magical unicorn is nervous about school?” But she’s dead serious. Turns out, even unicorns have first-day jitters, apparently.
And then I get it—this coloring page is more than just some activity. It’s her way of gearing up for 5th grade, processing all those “big kid” feelings with some unicorn magic thrown in. I’m just over here pretending like I’m cool with coloring the apples red and making the books look halfway decent, but really, I’m just proud of how she’s handling everything.
Honestly, who knew a simple drawing with school supplies and a unicorn could give a dad so many feels? If this is what it takes to get her excited for 5th grade, I’m all in. Even if it means I’ll be coloring unicorns for the rest of the year!
And let’s be real—unicorns have become a big deal in our house. They’re on the notebooks, the backpacks, and now, thanks to these coloring pages, they’re all over our dining table too. If your little one loves unicorns as much as mine does, we’ve got even more fun ahead with these awesome free coloring sheets:

Now, I just need to figure out how to keep up with her and her unicorn-themed school adventures. Maybe by the end of the year, I’ll master coloring within the lines… maybe.
And speaking of unicorns, we’ve gone full unicorn mode at our house. From the backpacks to the lunch boxes, and now even our coloring sessions, it’s all about those magical creatures!
