Flamingo Float Day for a Flower-Crowned Mermaid

A smiling mermaid with big round eyes leans back on a giant inflatable flamingo float. A flower crown of little roses sits on her curly hair, and a large hibiscus-style bloom is tucked beside her ear. She holds a cocktail glass in one hand and rests the other arm on the flamingo's neck. Her top looks like two seashells, and her long tail is covered in rows of scales with a ruffled fin that curls out at the bottom of the page. The flamingo wears a small crown with round beads on the points and has a curved neck with a dark beak. Try coloring the scales in a gradient from teal to purple, then keep the flamingo a bright pink for contrast. The big open spaces on the float and tail are easy for younger kids, while the scales and roses suit more patient colorists. This free printable is a fun pick for a summer afternoon.
