This collection has 22 free little mermaid coloring pages: thirteen solo mermaid portraits in a reef or ocean setting, five pages that pair the mermaid with a sea-creature companion, and four whimsical standout scenes. Every page is black and white on US Letter, downloads as a free PDF, and needs no signup.
Despite the name, none of these are the Disney film’s Ariel — there’s no crown, no consistent red-haired design, and no Flounder or Sebastian sidekick. Every mermaid here is a generic, differently-styled character (some cute storybook style, some chibi-anime), so this is a “little mermaid” set in the generic sense of the phrase rather than a licensed character page.
What’s in this collection
Thirteen solo mermaid portraits, five sea-creature companion scenes, and four whimsical standout pages — 22 in total, in the grid below. Each has its own Download PDF and Print button, so you can take one page instead of the whole set.
Solo mermaid portraits
Thirteen pages show a single mermaid alone in an ocean or reef scene, surrounded by bubbles, shells, seaweed, or a scattering of small fish. The art style varies from a rounder, cute storybook look to a big-eyed chibi-anime style, but each page focuses on just the one mermaid.
With a sea-creature companion
Five pages pair the mermaid with a specific animal: a seahorse cradled in her arms (the only page with a small crown), a dolphin swimming alongside her, a school of fish, and two more with a small creature nearby. These add a second subject to color next to the mermaid herself.
Whimsical standouts
Four pages break from the ocean-scene formula: a baby mermaid sitting inside a giant teacup, a mermaid meditating cross-legged inside an open clamshell, a mermaid strumming a guitar underwater with a turtle nearby, and two mermaid sisters together wearing flower crowns.
How to print these
Every page is US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), pure black and white, with the drawing inside the printable margin. Plain copy paper is fine; choose “Fit to page” if your printer asks. The solo portrait pages print well even at draft quality, since the shapes are large and simple.

Are these the Disney Ariel character?
No. None of the 22 pages show a crown or the consistent design Disney’s Ariel uses — these are generic mermaid characters in a mix of storybook and chibi-anime styles.
Is there anything unusual in this set?
Yes, one page shows a baby mermaid sitting inside a giant teacup, and another shows a mermaid playing guitar underwater — both unusual compared to the typical ocean-scene pages.
Do I need a color printer?
No. Every page prints in black and white; the color comes from your crayons or pencils.
