Waving Mermaid on a Rock Coloring Page

About this page

This is a single, uncluttered figure: a mermaid perched on a big smooth rock, lifting her left hand in a cheerful wave. She wears a plain short-sleeved top with a small round collar, and her long wavy hair falls down both sides to below her shoulders. Her right hand rests on the rock beside her. The tail drapes over the front of the stone and ends in a two-part fin at the lower left, with a single curved line running down the middle of the tail. The rock is a wide dome with a few soft lines and nothing else crowds it, and the white page around her stays completely empty. Every area is large and open, with no scales or tiny patterns to stay within. That makes it a comfortable easy page for kids who are learning to hold a crayon and want a friendly character to finish quickly.
