86 Free Printable Mermaid Coloring Pages

Mermaid coloring pages bring a little sea magic to any rainy afternoon. Your child can pick a mermaid playing a seashell harp, a baby mermaid asleep in a shell cradle, or Ariel hugging Flounder. Every page costs nothing, and no sign-up stands between you and the printer.

Little ones from age three do best with the round, simple shapes of the baby mermaids. Bigger kids may go straight for the mermaid princess in her coral garden or the realistic mermaid with wavy hair. If one mermaid is never enough, our princess coloring pages have more crowns and gowns.

Mermaid Coloring Pages

Long hair, shiny scales and a tail that flicks: the classic mermaid coloring pages start here. One mermaid peeks at a sailing ship, and another naps in an open clam shell.

Ariel and Little Mermaid Coloring Pages

Little Mermaid fans can color Ariel with King Triton, hugging Flounder or dancing with Prince Eric. Baby Ariel with her big round eyes is an easy start for little ones.

Cute and Easy Baby Mermaid Coloring Pages

Round faces and thick lines make every baby mermaid coloring page a good fit for toddlers. A tiny mermaid sleeps in a seashell cradle, and a merboy rides on a sea turtle.

Mermaids With Dolphins, Turtles and Octopuses

Every mermaid here has a buddy to race, hug or tickle. Mermaid and dolphin coloring pages swim alongside a giant octopus, a seahorse and a shark who only wants to play.

Mermaid Princess Coloring Pages

Crowns, tridents and seashell thrones belong to the mermaid princess coloring pages. A mermaid queen holds her trident high, and a merman king wears a crown of his own.

A sprinkle of magic runs through these pages. Mermaid unicorn coloring pages sit beside a fairy mermaid with butterfly wings and a mermaid making a wish on a star.

Christmas, Halloween and Birthday Mermaid Coloring Pages

Holiday mermaid coloring pages run all year long, from a Valentine heart to an Easter basket. At Halloween a witch mermaid waves her wand, and at Christmas another trims a coral tree.

Choosing a Mermaid Coloring Page by Age

For kids from age three, try the Easy filter before anything else. It shows big outlines and wide spaces: the simple mermaid with a starfish, Ariel holding up a fork, the merboy on his sea turtle. Kawaii fans will love the chubby baby mermaids with sparkly eyes, and there's a lot more of that style in our kawaii coloring pages.

The Medium filter suits most kids from about five, who enjoy a bit of scenery, like the mermaid by the lighthouse or the one opening a treasure chest. Detailed belongs to patient big kids, teenagers and moms or dads who like to relax with a page. Try Ariel facing the sea witch, the mermaid dancing in an underwater palace or the realistic mermaid portrait, each one packed with small scales to fill.

How to Print a Mermaid Coloring Page or Color It Online

Right under each mermaid you'll spot Print, Color online and Download PDF. Print shows the mermaid alone, full size, so the printer gets nothing but her. Download PDF keeps a copy on your device for later. The file is A4, and its roomy margins mean US Letter paper won't cut off a single fin.

Color online runs right in the browser, whether your child grabs a tablet or your laptop. A finger on a shade, a tap inside a shape, and the color appears, so the dolphin ride or the rainbow cloud can be finished in the car or a waiting room. Other subjects made for tapping are gathered on our online coloring page. It's free, and no email address is required.

Mermaid Coloring Pages for Parties and Holidays

Planning a mermaid birthday? Print the birthday mermaid with her cake and candles, add a few baby mermaids, and set them out with crayons as a quiet table activity while the guests arrive. The same stack comes in handy at a sleepover or on a beach day when the weather turns.

Mermaids celebrate the holidays too. One in a Santa hat decorates a coral tree, and another piles up wrapped presents. Spring brings an Easter basket full of eggs, and October has a mermaid in a witch hat holding her pumpkin. Kids torn between mermaids and unicorns get both in the sea unicorn, and you'll find more horns and manes on our unicorn coloring pages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these mermaid coloring pages free?

Every single one, from the first mermaid to the last. Printing, saving a PDF and coloring on a screen cost you nothing, and no account is ever needed. Print a copy for each sibling, a whole class or every guest at a mermaid party.

Is there an Ariel coloring page?

Ariel has a whole section of her own, with King Triton, Flounder, her prince and a baby Ariel. They are fan drawings, and our site is not official or connected to Disney in any way. For her fellow princesses, browse the Disney coloring pages.

What age are mermaid coloring pages for?

Kids from age three and up can enjoy them. Toddlers do well with simple pictures such as the baby mermaid with a rubber duck or the mermaid waving from the waves. Teens and adults often reach for the detailed pages, like the mermaid and merman inside a coral heart.

Do you have mermaid and dolphin coloring pages?

Sure! One mermaid rides a dolphin, and another races a whole pod of them. Sea turtles, an octopus, a whale and a seahorse keep them company. For dolphins and fish without mermaids, visit our sea animal coloring pages.

What paper size should I use?

Plain US Letter is fine. Our PDFs come in A4, and generous margins mean no tail or crown gets trimmed on Letter paper. Thicker paper or card stock is sturdier for markers or a bit of watercolor.
