Mermaid Starry Cove Coloring Page

About this page

Five outlined stars form an arc across the top of this page, and below them a mermaid sits on a pointed, crescent-like rock with one hand resting on the stone. She has a large flower in her wavy hair, a high-neck top decorated with a shell and swirls, and a scaled tail that drapes over the rock and ends in a ribbed fin at the lower middle. Water fills the lower third with gentle wavy lines, small splashes, and curling waves on both the left and right edges of the rock. Three hibiscus-style flowers float on the surface along the bottom. The big, plain stars are quick to color, while the swirling hair, scales and ripples give longer work. It is a medium page for kids who like a night-sky mood and want to add a glow of their own.
