HAPPY EASTER WITH AN EASTER 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!

ZENTANGLE EASTER EGGS
Why do we celebrate Easter with eggs? Eggs symbolize new life and rebirth and are commonly associated with spring. Traditionally, people used dyed and painted chicken eggs (see our dyed eggs); now we have chocolate eggs. In Christianity, eggs symbolize the new life we have in Jesus.
SUPPLIES:
- Easter egg template
- Black marker
- Ruler
- Colored markers or watercolors
INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP 1: Print out the Easter egg template.
STEP 2: Fill in each section with your own zentangle designs. Try creating various patterns using a marker. For example, stripes, circles, waves, swirls, or even oval shapes for mini Easter eggs.
Remember to repeat the pattern throughout each section!
Optional: Color your Easter egg in with markers or watercolor paints. You make even want to make your own watercolors!
WHY DO PROCESS ART WITH KIDS?
When you think of kid’s art projects or activities, what do you think of?
While there isn’t anything wrong with these crafty projects, they all have one thing in common: They focus on the end result. Usually, an adult has created a plan for a project with one goal in mind, which does not leave much room for true creativity.
For kids, the real fun (and learning) is in the process, not the product! Hence, the importance of process art!
Kids are curious. They want their senses to come alive. They want to feel, smell, and sometimes even taste the process. They want to let their minds wander through the creative process.
How can we help them reach this state of ‘flow’ – (the mental state of being completely present and fully immersed in a task)? Process art activities!
