Vane and I had a blast mixing and matching pipe cleaners, mini pom poms, paper and crayons to handcraft a unique group of girl gang mermaids. Crayola skin tone crayons and an assortment of rainbow colored papers and markers helped us self represent and be imaginative to create beautiful friends for our selfie puppets. Vane enjoyed selecting the bikini top and fin color pairings, along with hairstyle designs while I got to work with the scissors. Mini heart lips and polka dot bellybuttons are a great way to get the little ones involved with adding the character to the craft. Vanessa sparred no time and got right to playing as each mermaid was complete. As you can see from the photos below they were loved on pretty quickly ;)
Enjoy creating more mermaids for the sea with your kiddos at home. xo RCN
