Try making articulated mermaids and mermen with heavy paper, markers, and brad fasteners. After you create your mer-creature, write a story about your mer-character. If you'd like Lynn to come to your school or library to lead this craft project and a related writing workshop, please contact Lynn at AuthorLynn@aol.com, or get more info on her Author Visits page.

Here are some fun mer-characters created by the students at Presidio Hill School in San Francisco.
