Guest Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 We are currently doing an under the sea theme which is fab! Some of the girls have shown an interest in learning about mermaids which I am really excited about! Just wandered if anybody has done anything around mermaids or any ideas?

Guest Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Oh!! sounds exciting. I once made a mermaid birthday cake when Little Mermaid was newly out. Used top half of a cheap teenage doll then wrapped the bottom half in icing for the tail. She sat on a cake cooked in a pudding basin and covered in rice crispies and melted chocolate to look like rocks (like the buns) Can you do something on designing a tail for a doll or themselves? Walking in flippers outdoor? making a mermaids role play house with blue and green fabric for sea weed. I have some playmobil mermaids that would make a nice small world with shells and fishes. Drawing mermaids with wax crayons then over painting with a blue wash (wax resist) Wish we had this, could run with this one.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KST Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I read the book 'Dear Mermaid' where a little girl writes to a mermaid. The children then wrote a letter to the marmaid on special mermaid paper! They also made a large mermaid collage with shinny scales for her tail. I put sand in my builders tray with shells for children to write letters in the sand as this is what the mermaid does in the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
