Smiling Mermaid With Fish, Crab and Seashells

A friendly mermaid with long wavy hair floats in the middle of the page, with a small flower tucked above her ear. She wears a beaded necklace, a bracelet, and a seashell top, and her tail ends in a big ribbed fin. Around her are a round-faced fish with a striped back fin, a smiling crab raising both claws, and two seashells at the bottom. One shell has curved ridges and the other looks like a scalloped clam sitting open. Every character has big round eyes and a cheerful grin. The large shapes are easy for younger kids to fill in, while the small beads, scales and shell lines give older kids more detail to work on. Try coloring the tail in two or three shades of green and blue, then pick a different color family for each shell so they stand out from the sea creatures. This free printable also works well for a quick ocean unit activity.
