Painting Sea Shells - I love how wonderfully water colors show up on shells. The ladies worked for quite a time on their shells.
Mermaid Hair - The girls chose colors and I tied them on a clip. Cute!
Mermaid Tails - The kiddos decorated their fin, then we attached it to their tail (single knee-hi women's sock found at the dollar store). A bit squishy on the legs, but so fun!
Mermaid Worlds - The girls created a beautiful mermaid world full of delightful things: shells, beads, sequins, and glass beads. The lids in the middle were were for floating the mermaids. Their worlds were created in nacho trays I found at the thrift store for super cheap. Wahoo.
Water Play and Mermaid Floating - We also did some color mixing using tub tints. This kiddo was super excited to see green created before her eyes!
Dressed for the Day -
Shell Chalking - The kiddos drew on the shells with chalk, then blending colors or scrubbed them clean with tooth brushes.
