Coloring page by <a href="https://marytale.app/en/coloring-pages/ocean/mermaid-with-a-crab-in-her-hair">Marytale</a>What's in the picture
The crab decided to help and took hold of a strand of hair with its claw — a living hairpin. The mermaid is watching it out of the corner of her eye and saying nothing so far: it does hold very firmly.
Coloring ideas
Make the crab red or orange — it is the star here. Keep the hair light so the crab shows. The big scales on the tail are made for long, unhurried coloring.
How to print the coloring page
On each picture's page, click “Print” and only the picture goes on the sheet, without the rest of the page. To keep the file for later, download the PDF: it's already set up with a margin, so the printer won't cut anything off.
