Pick a corner of the sea

Start with the picture your child finds most inviting. The simple mermaid, shell and fish designs have wide spaces and few objects. Coral gardens and animal companions add more shapes without filling every part of the page. The palace, library and reef cave offer smaller areas for children who enjoy details. These are imaginary story scenes, so a sea library or shell workshop can be whatever your child wants it to be.

Try a personal ocean palette

Put colored pencils or crayons within reach. Blues and greens are one possibility, but a yellow tail, pink seaweed or striped shell can fit an invented world. Ask where the mermaid is going or which creature will join her. Your child can give the characters names or leave part of the background white. Pencils are handy for small scales and shell lines; crayons suit broad tails. Use scrap paper under markers and pause when the activity stops being enjoyable.

Choose your print format

Download the PDF for A4 or US Letter paper. Print at actual size or 100%, using black-and-white settings. The artwork includes white margins. If the printer clips an edge, choose fit to printable area. Keep another copy if your child wants a second ocean color story.
