Fun Activities with Mermaid Coloring Pages

From elegant mermaids swimming with fish to playful scenes filled with seashells and coral, each page invites you to bring these underwater wonders to life with your favorite colors. However, they offer more than just coloring! The following activities are fun with our Mermaid coloring pages!

Create an “Underwater World” Collage

Objective: Enhance creativity and introduce kids to marine life.

Instructions:

This activity allows children to learn about different sea creatures and create their own ocean adventure!
Give children mermaid coloring pages and encourage them to color and decorate the mermaids with bright colors, glitter, and stickers.
Provide cutouts or drawings of other ocean animals, coral, seaweed, and bubbles, and help the children arrange and glue their colored mermaids and marine elements on a large sheet of blue paper to create an “underwater world” scene.

Mermaid Counting Pearls Game

Objective: Practice counting and fine motor skills.

Instructions:

Print out mermaid coloring pages and give each mermaid a “pearl necklace” or “treasure chest” to decorate.
Provide small items like beads or round stickers as “pearls” and assign each child a number for how many pearls to place on their mermaid’s necklace or in the treasure chest.
This activity combines creativity with counting practice, helping kids recognize numbers while adding a fun, hands-on twist to their artwork.

“My Mermaid Adventure” Storytelling

Objective: Encourage storytelling, language skills, and creativity.

Instructions:

After coloring their mermaid pages, invite children to come up with a short story about their mermaid’s adventures.
Prompt ideas like “Where does your mermaid live?” or “What special treasures did your mermaid find under the sea?” and let them share their story with the group.
This activity supports language development, storytelling, and helps children bring their artwork to life with imaginative stories.

These activities blend creativity with learning, making mermaid coloring pages a fantastic resource for young children’s play and education!
