Kids Paper Craft for Summer: Swimming Mermaid

Have some under the sea fun with the kids with these adorable swimming mermaids. They come in 3 sweet pastel designs (our favorite is the rainbow hair one of course!) as well as a blank option for kids to color in. Set up a fun ocean scene with your favorite sea creatures and watch as the mermaids swim past flapping their fins! This would make a cute paper toy for any ocean enthusiast or under the sea party theme for kids. http://everfreecoloring.com
