Harp-Playing Mermaid on a Shell Rock
Coloring guide
A smiling young mermaid with long, wavy hair sits on a rock by the sea and plucks a small harp with curled scrollwork on top. There's a starfish clip in her hair and a scalloped seashell top on her. Her tail slides down the rock in rows of round scales and finishes in a wide, ribbed fin. Music notes and tiny bubbles float nearby, and the rock in front holds a clam shell, a spiral shell and a starfish. Gentle wavy lines mark the water, with the horizon behind her. Kids who love detail will enjoy this free printable, since the scales, hair and shells all offer lots of small spaces. Soft teal and lavender suit the tail, and a splash of sunny yellow on the harp helps the music stand out. Add this to your Mermaid coloring page collection, alongside Unicorns and Dragons.
