Zentangle Apprentice

The Zentangle method itself changes very little whether it is taught to children or adults. Children as young as 4 can make the simple strokes like a dot, a line, an orb, and some curves, allowing them to create many of the patterns. What is beautiful is that their creations are always successful as non-representational art! There is no right or wrong, and they don't need to match their strokes exactly to anything, yet it still helps develop handwriting skills while nurturing their creativity and confidence.

Although the method remains the same whether you are 4 or 104, we have developed some lessons and materials that cater to and are more suitable for children.

We truly appreciate the need for everyone to unplug and the Zentangle Apprentice Kit was developed with that in mind, however, we understand that to get started, sometimes it is helpful to have some guidance. We have curated a list of videos especially for kids but truly they are for anyone. We invite you to explore tangling along with Molly and her daughters, and lots of color as you follow along with the videos!

We have curated a collection of supplies geared for children and we offer the Apprentice Classroom Packs for educators, counselors, camp coordinators or anyone who would like to bring the method to a group of children. There is something almost magical about the calm and quiet that comes to a classroom when a group of kids are tangling together.
