CELEBRATE EARTH DAY WITH AN EARTH ZENTANGLE
WHAT IS A ZENTANGLE?
A zentangle is an unplanned and structured pattern usually created on small square tiles in black and white. The patterns are called tangles.
You can make a tangle with one or a combination of dots, lines, curves, etc. Zentangle art can be very relaxing because there is no pressure to focus on the end result. It is an easy form of process art for kids!
Earth Day is coming up and its a great time to reflect on the importance of Planet Earth, and how we can look after it. Draw zentangle patterns onto our printable Earth below while also learning about stormwater runoff, your carbon footprint and acid rain.

Earth Day started in 1970 in the United States to focus people’s attention on environmental issues. The first Earth Day led to the creation of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the passage of new environmental laws.
