Mermaid Underwater Garden Coloring Page

About this page

A mermaid leans forward over a bed of large flowers and tips a small spiral shell like a watering can. A few drops fall from the shell toward the blooms. Her hair streams out behind her to the right, a starfish clips into the hair near the top, and a scale pattern covers the part of her tail that bends toward the right-hand side of the page. Five big round flowers with thick petals and a center disc fill the lower half, each one standing on pairs of leaves. Behind her, curly branching coral shapes rise on the left and right, and bubbles float in the open space above. Because the flowers are simple and wide, young colorists can fill them quickly, while the tail scales and hair strands offer a few smaller details. It is a medium page that suits kids who enjoy gardens.
