I remember watching The Little Mermaid when it first came out on VHS when I was in elementary school. From her long, flowy red hair to her ability to swim underwater, what’s not to love?
Now that I’m a mom, I spend a lot of time watching Disney movies with my kids. It’s always so cool when my kids like Disney movies I liked growing up!
One of our favorite Disneyland rides is Ariel’s Undersea Adventure. You sit in a little clamshell and take a little journey through iconic scenes from The Little Mermaid.
If your family loves the movie as much as I do, you’ll have fun with this DIY Little Mermaid paper doll craft. It’s the perfect thing to add to greeting cards, gift bags, or use as a little puppet!
