The Best Mermaid Dolls That'll Make A Huge Splash With Your Kids

If your child loves fairies and mermaids, then this mermaid doll is the perfect choice. It comes housed in a magical fairy lantern and you have to open it up to reveal which of the 12 mermaid dolls you get — each one has their own unique style and set of accessories. Batteries are included for the twinkling lantern too.

This cute mermaid doll from Bloopies is a great choice for the bathtub. She has a bedazzled mermaid tail that turns color in warm water, an endless delight for your little mermaid lover. The doll also comes with a sea friend squirter for even more fun.

If your little kids like LOL Surprise dolls, then they’ll likely dig this set. This is perfect if your child is into unboxing videos, as part of the appeal is in the packaging. But, the doll inside is pretty great, especially since she’s pleasantly scented.

Based on those well-placed references to The Little Mermaid above, surely you knew that at least one Ariel product would be featured here. Ariel is the ultimate mermaid, and early proof that redheads are pretty darn cool. And who knows The Little Mermaid better than Disney? Not only can this doll sing, but she also can be played with in and out of water, and her tail lights up to boot.  Three AAA batteries are included so the fun can start from the moment your little one gets their hands on this highly rated doll. The toy boasts an impressive 4.7 star rating on Amazon.

Another great Disney pick, this Ariel play set comes with the sea princess, plus some of her favorite friends like Sebastian and Flounder. The set also includes a seahorse and a wardrobe change for some dress-up fun.

Baby Alive will always be a popular brand that parents love. And, that’s probably because they’ve been around for quite some time. The first Baby Alive debuted in 1973, and then Hasbro released versions in 2006. But, enough about doll history — let’s get into the doll. This Mermaid Baby Alive transforms into a mermaid, meaning that there are multiple ways to play. Plenty of Amazon customers have said this doll is also a hit at bath time.

When there’s a call for dolls, of course at least one Barbie product is going to make the list. This Chelsea doll has gorgeous hair and is recommended for kids ages three to seven to play with. (But really, there’s no limit with Barbie.)  You also get a magical sand castle and tea party set to set the scene for hours and hours of make-believe fun.

Now that you’ve seen what Barbie mermaids are capable of, time to unleash even more cool mermaid dolls that your child will adore. This particular Barbie is special for plenty of reasons. For one, she has a tiara. She also changes colors, which will never get old. This mermaid Barbie also has pretty stellar ratings on Amazon, meaning that she’s a hit with the young crowd. According to Amazon Reviewer Regan, it’s “probably the best Barbie we’ve ever picked up.” You can’t get a better review than that.

Each and every one of these Dreamtopia mermaids would make a great gift for any creative child. But, this one is especially pretty, with pink hair streaks. This Barbie can “swim” by pushing a button, and also offers a light show fit for a mermaid.

Are there any mermaids in Monster High? Well, yes and no. Lagoona Blue may be the closest, and she’s the daughter of a sea monster. Nevertheless, if your child likes “the mermaid from Monster High,” there’s a good chance this is the character being referenced. “This is a very pretty Lagoona Blue! I had never really wanted this particular MH doll until I saw this one,” admitted Amazon Reviewer Tesha. “What makes this one stand out so much more than the other Lagoonas is her extra curly hair.”

With plenty of shimmer and sparkle, this Alani doll from Linzy Toys would be a wonderful addition to your child’s collection of plushies. This doll is 18 inches tall and has the potential of lasting a lifetime. “Very cute doll, very well made, especially for the price,” says Amazon reviewer Tristen. “Will last for years and probably end up on a special shelf for many more years to come.
