Little Bear Mermaid Curled Up With Bubbles

A round-faced little bear with two round ears sits curled up as a mermaid, with a big fish tail swooping down to the lower left. The bear has small sparkly eyes, two circles for rosy cheeks, and tiny arms resting on its tummy. A scalloped, ruffled edge sits around the waist where the body turns into the tail. The tail ends in two fins covered in fine curved lines, which add nice texture. Three bubbles of different sizes float up toward the top right corner. The large open shapes on the face and body are easy for younger kids to fill in, while the thin lines on the fins suit smaller crayons or colored pencils. Try coloring the tail fins in two or three shades that blend into each other, then talk about how real fish fins can have stripes and patterns. This printable page works well for quiet time at home or in the classroom.
