Questions parents ask
What can kids learn from mermaid coloring pages?
Mermaids are make-believe, but the sea friends around them are real animals. Each page comes with a true fact about ocean life, such as why sea otters hold paws or how octopuses have three hearts. Coloring a turtle, dolphin or manatee is an easy way to start a conversation about the ocean and how to care for it.
Which mermaid pages are good for younger kids?
The easy pages, like the mermaid waving on a rock or the mermaid hugging an octopus friend, have thick outlines and a few large areas to fill. They work well for ages 3 to 5. Kids ages 8 and up usually enjoy the detailed underwater scenes, which have many small sea creatures to color.
What colors should we use for a mermaid tail?
Any colors at all, since mermaids are imaginary. Many kids like coloring each row of scales a different shade, or using blues and greens that fade from dark at the top to light at the fin. Using a real fish or sea shell from a book as color inspiration is another fun idea.
