🐎 10 Horse Crafts & Activity Ideas for Kids

1. Make a Paper Bag Pony Puppet

Turn a brown paper lunch bag into a pony puppet using construction paper, yarn, and googly eyes. Kids can color and glue on ears, a nose, and a flowing mane. Once it’s dry, put on a mini puppet show with neighs and gallops galore! It’s a creative way to combine crafting and storytelling.

2. DIY Stick Horse Ride-Along

Create your own stick horse using a pool noodle or rolled-up cardboard and decorate it with markers, felt, and string for reins. Add googly eyes and a yarn mane for extra personality! Kids can gallop around pretending to be cowboys or racers. It’s a great active play option for indoors or outdoors.

3. Horse-Themed Sensory Bin

Fill a plastic bin with oats, hay, toy horses, and mini farm tools for a fun hands-on activity. Kids will love scooping, sorting, and “feeding” their horse figures. Add fences, barns, and even mini carrots for extra pretend play. It’s a great quiet-time activity with lots of tactile exploration.

4. Design Your Own Pony Coloring Sheet

Give kids a blank horse outline and let them decorate it with wild colors, patterns, and accessories. Think rainbow manes, cowboy hats, and sparkly hooves! Once they’re done, hang up their creations for a DIY art gallery. This one's perfect for unleashing imagination and customizing your own pony pal.

5. Pony Parade Obstacle Course

Set up cones, pillows, or pool noodles to create a pretend pony obstacle course. Let kids ride their stick horses or gallop through the course like real riders! You can even time them for extra excitement. It's an awesome way to burn energy and build coordination.

6. Horse Show Pretend Play

Set up a “horse show” where each child shows off their toy pony or stuffed animal. They can groom it, give it a fun name, and present it to the judges (aka grown-ups or siblings). Everyone gets a ribbon or sticker at the end! It’s an adorable game full of creativity and confidence-building.

7. Pin the Tail on the Pony

A horse-themed twist on a party classic! Draw or print a big pony without a tail, then blindfold kids and have them try to pin the yarn tail in the right spot. You can decorate it with glitter and stickers for extra flair. Bonus: every tail ends up in a hilariously wrong place!

8. Make a Horse Headband Craft

Cut out horse ears from felt or foam and glue them onto a headband. Add paper flowers or glitter to turn it into a show pony look! Kids can wear them while pretending to gallop through the paddock or perform tricks. It's a fun and wearable craft with instant play potential.

9. Read Horse Picture Books Together

Choose a few fun horse-themed books like "If I Had a Horse" or "Thelma the Unicorn". Set up a cozy reading nook with pillows and toy ponies for extra fun. After reading, ask questions like, “What color would your horse be?” or “What would you name it?” Reading + imagination = win-win!

10. Decorate Horse-Shaped Cookies

Use horse- or pony-shaped cookie cutters to make sugar cookies. Let kids decorate them with icing, sprinkles, and candy manes. It’s a sweet treat with a fun hands-on twist. Bonus: edible crafts double as snacks!
