You can make your activity more magical by having kids add extra details or draw extra things with the mermaids, like a crown, a dolphin friend, or bubbles in the water.  When there are no additional details or extra things, it is all about the fun!  Kids can draw as many mermaids as they want, and they can decorate the water with a super pretty colour or even draw an underwater scene.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eJoy, not perfection, is what drawing is all about. Never consider drawing to be an exam. The children can sketch an aquatic scene, a tail, or a mermaid. Children may create, fantasise, and sketch with the aid of Monkey Pen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Monkey Pen Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42767470985310,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2081\/8163\/files\/Mermaid-HTD.png?v=1770279308","url":"https:\/\/monkeypen.com\/products\/htd-mermaid","provider":"Monkey Pen Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
