Mermaid Swimming by Seaweed Coloring Page

About this page

Gliding through the water with her head turned to look back over her shoulder, this mermaid carries a calm smile and long hair that sweeps back behind her. Both arms reach slightly outward, and she wears a plain sleeveless top with a pointed waist. Her tail trails down and to the left in one smooth curve, ending in a wide, simple fin at the lower left. On the left side of the page two broad seaweed leaves with gently wavy edges grow from a pair of small pebbles, and a few round bubbles drift near the top of the leaves and beside her at the lower right. No other detail interrupts the scene. With wide leaves, a big tail and a long head of hair, this easy page gives kids a few generous shapes to fill and a little room to choose which color goes where.
