Tying a Ribbon on a Small Flower, Ariel by the Coral

A smiling mermaid with long, flowing hair swims through the water while holding a small flower with a ribbon tied around it. She is turned slightly to the side and looks happy as she works on the bow with both hands. She wears a shell-style top and a fitted waistband, and her long curved tail ends in a wide fin with stripe lines. Two little bubbles float on the left, a bumpy plant shape sits in the bottom left corner, and a large branching coral rises on the right. The big hair sections and tail stripes are easy to fill in, so this works well for younger kids. Try a few shades of green or blue on the tail fin, one color for each stripe, and then use bright colors on the coral so it stands out. A free printable like this also makes a nice quiet activity for ocean unit lessons.
