What stained glass changes
Bold dividers that make colour blocking easy. For mermaid that means thick leading lines, which holds up at ages 8+ and still reads after photocopying.
When this style is the right call
For a mermaid page specifically, stained glass works because the subject is already familiar; the pattern adds interest without asking the child to decode something new. Skip it if the only printer available is a school laser copier.

About mermaid pages
A mermaid page in stained glass is a different job from the beginner version: the subject is identical, but the drawing asks for thick leading lines at ages 8+, so the colouring time roughly doubles. Worth knowing while you colour: Mermaid legends appear in cultures from Greece to Japan. Manatees may be the origin of some mermaid sightings. The Little Mermaid was published by Hans Christian Andersen in 1837.
Colouring tips
Work from the largest area to the smallest and leave fine detail for last so it does not smudge. With thick leading lines, a fineliner gives the cleanest edge; coloured pencil is more forgiving and easier to correct.
Printing notes
Turn draft quality off: draft mode thins the lines and they disappear under crayon. If the printer crops the edges, set margins to 5 mm and switch borderless off.
Questions
Is the stained glass version harder to colour?
It changes line weight and detail density, not the subject. Ages 8+ are a rough guide; anyone who prefers thick leading lines will get on fine with it.
What paper should I print a mermaid page on?
Ordinary 80 gsm copy paper is fine for crayon and pencil. Use 120 gsm or heavier for marker pens, and print at 100% scale so line spacing stays correct.
