In other words, get the supplies set-up, press play, and find something for YOU to do for 15-30 minutes while they create.

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?!?

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.
