Do you want a mermaid coloring book as a Calm Down Zone for your kids? A place where they have fun, learn, switch off, feel safe & express emotions? This place should be offline? Ideally, your kids learn things on the side e.g. words, numbers, shapes, drawing basics, cutting out & mazes so that they have advantages in later life?
As parents, do you want sometimes peace & quiet & time to yourself?
I understand it very well. As an elementary school teacher, mother of 3 kids & dedicated grandma, I often felt the same. These mermaid coloring pages should fulfill the needs of children & parents.
Brain researcher Dr. Stan Rodski says: "Many children love coloring books. Some adults love it, too. Coloring is like being in a happy place. The brain loves anything that makes it happy."
10 benefits for you & your kids that other coloring books don't offer
1.) I was a child educator & elementary school teacher for 30+ years in art. I am a mother of 3 children, grandmother of 4 & great-grandmother of 3. I know the needs of children & parents. Most likely better than an author, who puts 1000 books on the market to live in the Maldives.
2.) Several artists collaborated on this book. It has more pages than other coloring books so that your kids will enjoy it for longer. It has easy & a little more difficult themes. The coloring mermaids stimulate the imagination & allow immersion in the underwater world for children between 4-14 years.
3.) Sea animals such as clownfish, surgeon fish, rays, crabs, sharks, tilapia, or flounder allow for variety. You won't find them in other coloring books. The desire for variety is a basic human need.
4.) You'll find here 15 health benefits why coloring for children and adults is very helpful for health & well-being. These benefits are backed up by research studies. When we know "the why" and the benefits, we do it more willingly & often. This text convinces even skeptics. Coloring has been proven to bring relaxation, better sleep, mindfulness, better mood, less stress & anxiety, a better brain, etc. It's also a good counter to the digital world.
5.) Here you'll find mainly Mermaid Coloring Pages from mermaid dolls. That means schema of childlike characteristics, big eyes & mostly mermaids that are 4-14 years old.
6.) This coloring book depicts negative emotions in some sea creatures. 100% laughing figures give your child a false image of the world. Yes, positive emotions & confidence are essential. But that doesn't exist all the time. So you find some fish that are sad or angry.
7.) You'll find coloring pages combining coloring with basic skills. Your kids learn words, numbers & shapes. This gives your kids advantages in elementary school.
8.) Your kids learn basic drawing e.g. coloring, choosing colors and painting by numbers or by quadrants. This way, kids can discover & nurture an artistic interest.
9.) We have included additional activities such as mazes or cutting out so that your child learns other helpful things which will help later in life, too.
10.) 10% of the proceeds will be donated to charity benefiting children, animals & oceans.
As a mother & grandmother, I would have liked coloring books to offer more variety & benefits. Thus, my grandson Tommy & me created this book to help children & parents for their needs. What is best for your kid, only you know!
