Bring Hans Christian Andersen's beloved story of a marvelous little sea creature to life with this delightful coloring book. Eight ready-to-color scenes recall memorable moments in the charming tale, among them the little mermaid's discovery of a shipwrecked young prince, her pact with the evil Sea Witch, and her transformation into a human being.
The pictures are printed on special paper that allows light to shine through it. First cut the pages from the book as neatly as you can. Then color the pictures, using crayons, felt-tip pens, or paints. You'll get particularly interesting effects if you color both sides, using different colors on the backs than on the fronts. When the pictures are taped to a window, the sunlight shines through them, the way it shines through colored glass!
Please refer to the inside back cover for coloring hints and identifications for the scenes. The order of the pages is your key to the identifications, so make a record of them before removing the pages from the book.
