If you have a little girl who loves everything about the ocean and mermaids she will really enjoy these crafts with mermaids.
Mermaids are underwater Princesses, the most popular being Ariel who has beautiful red hair. Of course you can make them with all colors of hair, they do not have to be Ginger; the more the merrier I say!
You can use these whenever you wish or incorporate them into a learning theme, i.e. Ocean, Princesses or Disney.
I have lots to choose from including some printables, toilet roll crafts, paper crafts, puppets and much more!
