You may want to watch the movie one more time to get your creative juices flowing.Think... under the water, shades of blue, green and teal.Suspend party streamers from the ceiling (vertically) as well as balloons to represent bubbles in the water. Cut streamers in varying lengths and shades of blue. Consider using "sticky-tak" to avoid making holes in your ceiling. Then add paper fish intermittently with the streamers.Cover the party table with a light blue or white sheet. Scatter shells, starfish and sequins all around the table. Use the cake as a centerpiece. Or, make a festive party ! centerpiece by attaching a bouquet of balloons to a Little Mer! maid toy..Use butcher paper or poster board to decorate the front door with an underwater scene. For added effect switch out some of your standard light bulbs to colored blue and/or green bulbs. Variations: add blue cellophane, toile netting or shimmer fabric to the party area.Time Saving Tip: Many of the ideas on this page require pre-cut shapes.

If this is too difficult for your age group, the players can face downwards and walk sideways on all fours. Be sure to designate a start and finish line with an appropriate distance in between.Flotsam and Jetsam TagTwo of the children will hold hands in the middle of a large playing area. All other players are "mermaids" who must try to run past "Flotsam and Jetsam" to the other side of the playing area. If a mermaid is tagged, he or she will trade places with either "Flotsam or Jetsam" and help tag more mermaids. Blowing BubblesFor extra no-prep fun, take out some bubbles and have a contest for who can make the largest, most, smallest etc.Pin the Shell on ArielPlay this just as you would Pin the tail on the donkey. Enlist an artistic teen! to draw Ariel with a beaded necklace. Trace a shell in the center of th! e necklace. then make shell playing pieces with craft foam. Place sticky-tac on the backs of the shells. The children will attempt to place the shell in the correct location while being blindfolded. Down forget to gently turn the player 1-3 times before their turn.Kit's Tip: Young children may not like being blindfolded or spun...that's okay, they can simply close their eyes.More ocean party games >>OCEAN PARTY ARTS AND CRAFTS IDEASIt was so easy to come up with little mermaid party crafts that several are listed.

UNDER WATER RECIPESShark Punch This refreshing drink has a surprise “bite” lurking just beneath the surface! A day before the party, make shark ice cubes by freezing bite-sized gummy shark candy in ice cube trays filled with water. Let the trays stand at room temperature for an hour to remove the air bubbles before placing them in the freezer. The candy will dissolve slightly while freezing, tinting the cubes a soft pastel color. Then, prepare blue drink mix according to package instructions (Kool-Aid® works well). Pour the blue drink into a punch bowl and add 2 liters of ginger ale. When serving, place two or three shark cubes in a tall, clear glass for each child and fill with punch!
