Mermaid Undersea Colouring Fun

Meet this cheerful Mermaid, a kind underwater friend who loves waving to little fish, collecting pretty shells and caring for the sea garden. Her long flowing hair, sparkling fish tail and wide tail fin make plenty of fun spaces to colour. Children can choose peach, tan, brown or any imaginative shade for her skin, then fill her hair with golden yellow, chestnut brown, coral red, deep black, purple or rainbow bands. Colour the seashell top pink, violet, turquoise or orange, and give each tail scale a repeating pattern of aqua, emerald, blue, lilac and silver. Make the large fin a lighter matching colour or turn it into a bright rainbow. Use fresh greens for the seaweed, sandy beige and pink for the shells, orange or purple for the starfish, and cheerful stripes on the small fish. Add pale blue between the bubbles while leaving their highlights white. Use smooth strokes along the hair, neat curved strokes on each scale, and darker colour around the tail edges to make this friendly Mermaid shine beneath the waves.
