Paint a rocking horse for the Christmas tree

Left, the blank wood cut of a rocking horse. Right, a drawn interpretation.

       I think rocking horses are by far some of the most common wood cuts I've seen. Certainly there are dozens of ways to paint them and here is just one more way... I used reds, greens, yellow and black for the children's version of this old-fashioned toy.

• DIY a Christmas Candy Cane Wreath + Rocking Horse for a dollhouse
• Read a short story about "The Wooden Horse"
• Color-by-number: a Rocking Horse
• "R" is for rocking" alphabet coloring page

Young children may wish to include a few spots
on a rocking horse just like this one.
