About these pages
Mermaids under the sea: a mermaid gliding across a coral reef, one resting among coral and shells, a curly-haired mermaid in a shell top, a mermaid holding her long braid, another wearing a flower crown and a small mermaid waving hello. Crowned mermaids swim with fish, a mermaid holds a starfish underwater, and a braided mermaid has a heart on her tail. There is even a mermaid kitten with a fish tail.
Most of the 21 pages are for ages four to eight (12 pages), with long hair and tails drawn as big shapes to fill. The 8 detailed pages add scales, coral and flowing hair for older kids and adults. A letter M is for mermaid tracing page helps with letter practice. For more, see the fantasy pages, the princess pages and the ocean animal pages.
Each design is its own page with a Letter and an A4 PDF, a description, and related pages, so you can print one sheet or a whole set.
Questions
How do I colour a mermaid tail?
Draw small curved scales across the tail with a fine pen, or colour the tail in bands that fade from one colour to the next, such as blue to green to purple. Add a lighter shade on the fin tips.
Are there mermaid pages for younger children?
Yes. The small mermaid waving hello and the mermaid kitten have simple shapes and thick outlines. The "Ages 4-8" filter shows the pages most children aged four to eight can finish in one sitting.
Where did mermaid stories come from?
Sailors in many countries told tales of mermaids for centuries. Some of those sightings were probably manatees or dugongs, large, gentle sea animals that can float upright in the water.
Can I print on A4 paper?
Yes. Every page has a Letter and an A4 version. Pick the one that matches your printer.
