Hugging Her Tail, Ariel Glances Back Over the Rock

A smiling mermaid with long, wavy hair sits on a large rock and hugs her tail with both hands, looking over her shoulder toward the viewer. She wears a seashell top, and her tail curves down the side of the rock to a big striped fin with a crescent tip. Around her are small and large bubbles floating in the water. At the base of the rock you will find two leafy seaweed plants, a five-armed starfish, and a sandy mound, with a few tiny shells and details along the rock's left edge. The flowing hair gives plenty of room for blending. Try coloring the tail fin stripes in alternating shades of green and teal, then talk about which sea creatures and plants your child recognizes at the bottom of the page. This free printable works well for quiet time or an ocean-themed lesson.
