Cave Explorer Merman Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Pebble the mermaid was an explorer. One day, he found a cave he’d never seen before. The walls inside were covered in shiny, glimmering crystals.

"Ooooh," Pebble said out loud.

From deep inside the cave, a voice answered, "...ooooh."

Pebble giggled. "Hello!"

The cave answered, "...hello!"

It was an echo! Pebble had so much fun. He made bubbly sounds, "Blub, blub, blub!" and the cave bubbled right back at him. He spent the whole afternoon playing with his new, echoey friend in the glimmering cave.

The merman's clear expression of wonder is simple to interpret. The scene is adventurous without being scary, making it perfect for this age.

This page is perfect for markers, which will make the crystals look bold and bright. Gel pens (with supervision) would also be fantastic for adding sparkly details to the crystals and stars, mimicking their glimmering quality.
