Mermaid Storytime & Wish Ceremony
A calm, magical storytime with a real mermaid—designed for little ones who still believe. Promotional images by: Sarah James Photography.
A Magical, Intimate Mermaid Experience
Meet a real mermaid in a calm, storybook setting designed just for young children.
Join Mermaid Carissa for a one-of-a-kind storytime created especially for preschool and early elementary ages. This is not a crowded party or high-energy event. It is a gentle, immersive experience where each child is seen, included, and part of the magic.
Only 5 children are admitted to keep the experience personal and meaningful.
What happens during the experience:
Children are welcomed with a short, gentle playtime from 2:40–3:00 PM, where they can explore a cozy nursery space and settle in comfortably.
At 3:00 PM, Mermaid Carissa begins a peaceful, engaging storytime designed to hold attention without overwhelming young guests.
After the story, each child is invited forward one-by-one for a special wish-making moment. During this time, each child receives a shell necklace, makes a magical wish, and shares a quiet, personal interaction with the mermaid.
A dedicated assistant captures each child’s moment during the ceremony, so families receive keepsake photos at no additional cost.
Each child also leaves with a small take-home treasure, including a wrapped surprise gift and a handmade crocheted mermaid tail.
This experience is intentionally designed to feel calm, personal, and memorable—perfect for children who thrive in smaller, more meaningful settings.
