- 2. Turquoise scales
- 3. Pink shell
- Color the star yellow around its white rectangular label.
- Color every tail scale turquoise, keeping both tail fins white.

Begin with a large tail and a few sea shapes, then try scenes with plants, shells and patterned details. Use the difficulty groups to find a comfortable amount to color.
Try it together
Give your underwater place a name and choose a color for each kind of sea plant. After coloring, tell a short story about what the mermaid reads, plays or sends in the mail, using clues from your chosen picture.
