Let’s get started…

Zentangle Art Project: 80′s Glam Sharpies ROCKSUPPLIES:

  • Cereal Box or a thin piece of cardboard
  • Aluminum foil
  • String
  • Scissors
  • Fine point permanent markers
  • Place mat or plastic table cloth

Now, you don’t have to use 80’s Glam Sharpies. *affiliate link
We just happen to think they ROCK.

Note: While the colors in this project are playful, they are not required. If you’ve only got a single black Sharpie, don’t let the lack of variety stop your little one from doing this project. Classic zentangle is often done with just black!

Be sure to set-up the place mat or table cloth to ensure nothing special gets permanent marker on it.

Then press play!

 

Didn’t she do an AMAZING JOB with the tutorial?!?

If you do this project with your child, please take a photo of their zentangle with your phone and share it on this Facebook thread.

THANK YOU for supporting creative thinking!

This post is dedicated to one of our favorite teachers, Deb Kirsch. Rose did this art activity during summer school. That same day, she came home and made a second zentangle here at home. She loved the project so much that she asked to make a video tutorial because she wanted to share with other kids. Thank you Deb for sparking her creativity.

    This is such a cute project! My kids and I have enjoyed doing classic Zentangles together (thanks to free classes at our library – gotta love that! 😀 ), and this awesome idea takes the fun to a whole new level! Can’t wait for them to wake up this morning so I can show this to them! Thanks for the inspiration! 😀 ~Shelley

    • Zina says

      We love to do Zentangles on coffee shop dates too, Shelley. They are just fun all around. I hope your kids had fun with this!!

  4. Theresa says

    She did a great job! I am at work ! so wish I had tin foil! because I would so do this! can’t wait to try this with my kids club!

  5. Jamy says

    So, the project is pretty self explanitory but I totally watched the whole thing because I was so impressed with her tutorial!!!!! Please tell her how much I enjoyed that! I think instead of explaining it to my kids, I will have them watch this. A) to learn to do it themselves B) to show them how well she did explaining step by step instructions! You should be very proud! =)

  6. Phyllis says

    I don’t think I could explain as well as this little girl did. Well done! My little one is only three so maybe a but too young for this but I will just simplify it a bit with smaller square and limit the number of permanent markers 🙂 thanks for the video.

  7. Chris says

    What a sweetie. Nice job parents. She speaks well and did an excellent job of demonstrating this project. Thank you. She reminds me of myself as a child :).

  8. nilu says

    awesome job, sweetheart!! My girls were so glued to her tutorial as they would be to watching Frozen..they can’t wait to get started!!

  10. Jeanine H says

    Just had to stop by and say what a FANTASTIC JOB your daughter did at explaining this tutorial! i really hope you see this message! She had my 5 yr old glued to the screen. We spent the remainder of the weekend surfing youtube for different types of drawing tutorials. Speaking of which, I thought your daughter did such a fab job you should consider allowing her to do MORE!!! (just a friendly suggestion) … We searched and searched, coming up empty handed (next to your vid here) for “kids zentangle tutorials” We searched for tuts like that with all kinds of different wording. I just think shed be GREAT TO DO MORE MORE MORE!!! I know my daughter had a hard time following some of the simple patterns adults were showing us and she didnt like some of the adult voices. lol She said some were scary . .. . Thank you again, she did a lovely job! ;D

    First of all, I have to say that your daughter did such an AMAZING job explaining this and she is so adorable and articulate that I just wanted to squeeze her because her enthusiasm was so evident on this video!! So sweet!!! I will absolutely be trying this — yes, mama wants to do it too :). — using our zillions of shirt cardbords and spare yarn…I have one older and one younger than yours and they will totally want to watch this (and make these!) again and again, I can just feel it….Thank you!!

  13. Melissa says

    I saw this project on Pinterest and then showed the video to my daughter (8) as an idea for us to do today when we are home due to ice and COLD weather! She loved it (your daughter did a great job). This morning she created using these instructions from memory! She is also now talking about wanting to make a video explaining how to do something else!

    • Zina says

      Melissa, I hope you find time this weekend to do a video with your daughter. I think it really empowers the kids to know they have stuff to share, that THEY can be a teacher too!

  14. Andrea McKellar says

    Thank you so much for sharing! What an amazing job she did on the tutorial!!!! I can’t wait to try this with my pre-k kiddos!!!!! Will have to adjust a few things to fit their level but I know they are going to love this!!!!!

  15. Ellen says

    I wonder if it would work to use metallic permanent markers. Have you tried that or know how they turn out on the foil?

  16. Sharon says

    You post such neat things on this blog. What a wonderful idea. I give thanks for gifted teachers who inspire such creativity.

  20. Alana says
