You can do more than just color your mermaid coloring pages and then forget about them. Check out these fun crafts so you can keep your creations for a lot longer!
Mermaid Postcard
It’s easy to turn your favorite mermaid coloring pages into postcards. Simply pick your favorite mermaid coloring page and print it out at the correct size. You can print it out on a heavier weight of paper to ensure it’s a little bit sturdier. Then have fun coloring in your postcard before writing on it and mailing it. This could be a special, homemade way to say hello, happy birthday, or happy holidays to a loved one.
Mermaid Drawer Liner
Try this for a child’s bedroom. Color in your mermaid coloring page on heavier-weight paper, then use double-sided tape to secure it in a drawer. This is best for a drawer that experiences lighter use, such as a toy or craft drawer.
Mermaid Phone Case
You can use these mermaid coloring pages to make your very own mermaid phone case. Start by tracing your phone case. After coloring in your mermaid coloring page, match it up to your traced phone case. Cut out a part of the image that fits within the tracing. Make sure you cut out a hole for your camera. Then you’ll glue and seal your image to your phone case with ModPodge. Let your ModPodge dry before applying additional layers for a sturdier finish.
Mermaid Lore and Legends
Ever wonder where mermaids come from? Over time, humans have developed a lot of fantastic stories about mermaids. Here are a few of our favorite mermaid myths.
The Goddess Atargatis
One of the earliest mermaid myths comes from the area of Iraq, Turkey, and Egypt via the goddess Atargatis. Later on, the Greeks called her Derceto. After accidentally killing a human lover, the goddess turned herself into a mermaid.
Sirens
Sirens are one of the most famous early mermaid myths. These Greek myths were said to use beautiful songs to lure unwary sailors to their deaths. They were blamed for shipwrecks and had tails like dolphins.
Real Mermaids in South Korea
In the 1600s, a Dutch sailor wrecked his ship and claimed to encounter real-life mermaids in South Korea. These mermaids were likely Haenyeo, who are female sea divers who dive under the water in search of treasure, which sometimes means mollusks and seaweed. These women might be the closest we’ve ever come to real mermaids.
Today’s Mermaids
Our love of mermaids has not died even through all the centuries. Today, being a mermaid is an actual career! You can even get the full mermaid experience yourself - complete with that dolphin-like tail.
