To complete this handprint mermaid hair craft, the first thing you need to do is print out the provided “free printable” on white cardstock paper. You need ONE print out per mermaid craft.
Next up, have children use crayons to color in the mermaid design. At this point in time, they should add on the bra {heart stickers} and googly eyes so she can see.
When they are done coloring, use scissors to trim out the mermaid outline from the paper.
Set aside the decorated mermaid cutout for now and discard excess paper.
Now use a pencil to trace both of your child’s hands, on a piece of red cardstock paper. Use scissors to trim out the “handprint hair” from the cardstock paper.
Finally, using a glue stick, secure the mermaid AND handprint cutouts to a blue piece of cardstock paper for the ocean. And that’s it! You now have a beautiful and sentimental piece to gift away!
At this point in time you can also add any other embellishments you see fit to really customize your child’s mermaid handprint craft {like some small fish stickers!}
