[New] Pin the Tail on the Mermaid free – A Magical Game for Kids
Hello, I’m Kinsey, and today I’m so excited to share a delightful new game: Pin the Tail on the Mermaid! If you’ve been searching for a fun, mermaid-themed activity, you’re in for a treat. This idea came to me during a recent family trip to the beach. My son, full of curiosity, suddenly asked, “Mom, can we find a mermaid here?” Ahh… I couldn’t help but laugh😅! Turns out, he had yesterday watched the Mermaid Found Her Legs episode of Bluey and was on a mission to meet a real mermaid.
While we didn’t spot any mermaids that day, it gave me the perfect idea: why not create a mermaid game for my kids to play with their friends? And so, Pin the Tail on the Mermaid was born!
