Sure, Ariel dreamed of ditching her fishtail for some human feet, but most of us born on land have wished we could instead be part of her undersea world. Well, becoming a mermaid is within the grasp of anyone with an ocean-sized imagination. Just follow these five simple steps and you’ll be king or queen of the sea in no time.
2. Eat like a mermaid. Goldfish crackers, seaweed snacks and “sea” cucumbers are on the menu. Check out these awesome mermaid snacks.
3. Comb your hair with a fork. Because why not?
4. Practice your mermaid kick. Keep both legs stuck together while you flap and wriggle from one end of the pool to the other.
5. Make a shell necklace. Gather small shells from the beach (or your local bead store) and string up a creation worthy of sea maiden.
