You don’t need too many things to make this gorgeous Peg Doll Mermaid Craft! Dress up her in any color of your choice & get ready for lots of pretend play!

When you hear the word ‘mermaid’, you’re most likely to remember ‘The Little Mermaid’ – either the story or the Disney movie. Either way, you can’t miss the mysterious and haunting half woman-half fish sea creature!

These under the sea fantasy creatures are always beautiful and colorful – what’s not to love?

Have some under the sea fun with the kids with our collection of 15 Mermaid Crafts. Set up a fun ocean scene with your favorite sea creatures and watch as the mermaids swim past flapping their fins! This would make a cute toy for any ocean enthusiast or under the sea party theme for kids.

Let’s make our very own mermaid to play with, by making a peg doll mermaid craft. Check out the instructions below – they’re easier than you think!

4. The dress still needs a top, so for that cut out a bustier from the glitter paper. Draw out a pattern on the reverse side and then cut it out.

I have to admit, one of the things I love about this little mermaid is her rainbow hair. Of course, nothing’s stopping you from going for a mermaid that’s blonde or brunette! These are perfect for small world play, and also make a great collection to your DIY doll set that my include these gnome dolls, sock dolls or stick fairies. 

Then these mesmerizing mermaid crafts for kids are just what you need? Take an underwater adventure with these fun projects!
