Coloring tips
- Try teal, aqua, coral pink and sandy gold. Blend blue and green pencils on tails for a scale effect.
- Crayons work on plain printer paper and are great for toddlers and preschoolers.
- Markers look bolder but can soak through, so print on 65 lb cardstock.
- Colored pencils are best for blending and fine detail on older kids’ pages.
Activity ideas
Print a mermaid page for each guest at a pool party and let them add shimmer with gel pens.
Print a handful of different pages for a party table so guests can choose their favorites. Teachers can use them for early finishers and quiet time.
