Mermaid with a Pearl and Shell Coloring Page

About this page

A cheerful mermaid floats in the water and holds up a big round pearl with both hands, as if she has just found it. Her long wavy hair streams out behind her to the left, and her face shows a wide, happy smile with large shiny eyes. She wears a short-sleeve top with puffed sleeves, a round neckline band and three large stars on the front, and a smooth band where the top meets her tail. The tail curves down toward the lower left and ends in a broad, two-part fin. To the right, an open scallop shell rests on a low mound of sand, its ribbed lid lifted like a fan, and three bubbles of different sizes rise near the top right. Every shape is big and drawn with thick, steady outlines, so this easy page works well for young children with crayons or markers.
