15 Princess and Unicorn Storytelling Prompts

An imaginary kingdom can begin with one doll, one unicorn and one interesting question. Story prompts help children invent characters, solve fictional problems and make decisions about what happens next. There is no correct ending: the storyteller is in charge.

Ideas to Try

1. The Missing Rainbow

The castle's rainbow has disappeared overnight. Who notices first, and where might the colors have gone?

2. A Unicorn's Birthday

Every unicorn wants a different kind of party. How will the princess plan a celebration that makes everyone feel included?

3. The Secret Garden Gate

A tiny gate appears behind the garden. What is on the other side, and why has nobody found it before?

4. The Friendly Dragon

A dragon arrives at the castle feeling shy. What game could help everyone become friends?

5. The Royal Library

One book in the library contains blank pages that fill with new pictures. What story appears today?

6. A Cloud Delivery

A letter arrives on a floating cloud. Who sent it, and what exciting invitation does it contain?

7. The Lost Crown

A crown is missing before the parade. Will the kingdom make a new one or discover where the old one went?

8. Unicorn School

Young unicorns are learning something difficult. What lesson takes patience, and who helps them practice?

9. The Singing Bridge

A bridge sings whenever someone crosses it. What happens when it suddenly becomes quiet?

10. The Moonlight Picnic

The princess invites friends to a picnic beneath the stars. What surprising guest joins the gathering?

11. The Tiny Inventor

A character builds a machine to help castle residents. What problem does it solve, and what goes hilariously wrong?

12. A New Castle Neighbor

A new family moves into the kingdom. How can the princess and unicorns make them feel welcome?

13. The Talking Map

A map changes whenever somebody makes a kind choice. Where will the next path lead?

14. The Festival of Colors

Everyone decorates the castle for a celebration. Which colors and patterns does each character choose?

15. The Happiest Ending

Let your child select two favorite characters and invent a completely new ending. What will they do tomorrow?

Make the Most of Playtime

Try asking 'What happens next?' rather than finishing the story for the child. Combining two prompts can produce an entirely new kingdom adventure.
