The Year of the Horse Have a go at colouring this hidden horse - it works well as a doodle - the whole family can have a go! You can fill the shapes with solid colour or pattern, or collage it with magazine cut outs etc, depending on the age of your artists. Older children can make it more challenging by exploring colour palettes, pattern and texture.
