About this mermaid coloring page

This is the same mermaid that DrawAlong teaches kids to draw, printed as clean outlines so it can be colored straight away. The tutorial builds it up over 37 guided lines, one at a time; here it arrives finished, with 10 separate areas waiting for crayons — the shells, the eyes and the hair all get their own color.

Print it on any paper with crayons, pencils or markers. If you would rather skip the printer, the same mermaid can be colored online with tap-to-fill, and kids who want to draw it themselves first can follow the step-by-step mermaid tutorial. Coloring a shape you drew yourself lands very differently to coloring one that arrived finished.

Questions about this coloring page

How many areas are there to color in on the mermaid coloring page?

There are 10 separate areas, including the shells, the eyes and the hair. Each one is a closed shape, so crayons, pencils and markers all stay where they are meant to.

Is this mermaid coloring page free to print?

Yes. It is free to print at home or in a classroom, with no account and nothing behind a paywall. There is also a three-page PDF pack with the coloring sheet, a step-by-step drawing guide and a trace page.

What age is this mermaid coloring page for?

It suits children aged 4 to 8. The shapes are closed and clearly separated, and the same mermaid is taught as a intermediate drawing in 37 guided lines, so a child can color it today and draw it themselves later.

Can we color it online instead of printing?

Yes. The same line art can be colored in the browser with tap-to-fill, then downloaded or saved. Nothing needs installing.
