Children have been fascinated by mermaids for centuries. These mythical creatures have helped children develop their imaginations by children imagining a world outside themselves. Mermaid coloring books help stir a child's creative thought, and can be used to keep their attention on educational themes within the coloring book, such as learning to count, or beginning math. Mermaids can also keep children interested in objects and words, such as seashells, sand, or water. They can also help children learn and identify objects, animals, and things associated with the natural world, such as beaches, seashells, the sea, or sea mammals
