"Why do mermaids have tails?"
"Why do mermaids wear sea shells as bras?"
"What are they? Human or fish?"
"Can I be a mermaid?"
That are some of serious mermaid questions by my little girls, especially Iyra, the youngest one. They love the idea of a human who can freely swim in the ocean (without worrying to breath in the water). They also cherish the idea on how these sea princesses mysteriously appear on sea surface and swim away when seeing a human (Iesha can relate to this as she is a bit of a shy girl).
All of them have requested a real fabric mermaid tail, but I am no good with needle and thread. So instead, I made another simple mermaid activity. We made little mermaid clothespin dolls! They were delighted and played with their dolls for hours!
Materials needed to make clothespin mermaid dolls: Straight clothespins, embroidery floss, acrylic paints, glittery foam card and Sharpies.
I also encouraged them to recycle their old box and other things.
Mermaids take shellfies!
I left them with their mermaids and was surprised with their cheeky ideas. Their mermaids have partners! :P
