Free Printable Mermaid Stencils & Templates

Dive into a little summer magic with these printable mermaid templates. Mix and match the pieces — hair, body, tail and shells — to build your very own mermaid, then colour her in any shades you like. They're made for mermaid birthday parties, ocean-themed crafts and long, lazy summer afternoons by the sea (or the kitchen table).

Build your own mermaid

Print the pieces, colour them and glue them together to make a mermaid that's all your own:

• Choose a tail colour, then draw or paint on the scales
• Add hair, a swim top and shells to finish the look
• Try a tie-dye tail: colour it with washable markers, then spritz with water and watch the colours blend
• Add glitter or sparkly stickers for an extra-magical shimmer

Make a splash at a mermaid party

• Cut out tails and shells for table decorations, banners and party bags
• Make a wearable mermaid crown for each little guest
• Set up a "pin the tail on the mermaid" game
• Hang tails in different sizes from a hoop to make an under-the-sea mobile

Create an under-the-sea scene

Pair your mermaids with fish and shells for a whole ocean world, or combine them with a princess theme for a royal mermaid party.
