Shamrock Crafts for Kids

Moms need their craft time, too! The drawing above is one done using a compass, Shamrock Template and a round earring used to draw the scallops. The Shamrock was colored with watercolor pencils and markers.  The designs are called Zentangle patterns. Zentagle-inspired art has been an obsession of mine for a while now! You can learn more about this fun and meditative art form at  Zentangle.com.  This is fun to do with your kids. Kids adore creating patterns. At TanglePatterns.com you will find enough patterns to keep you and your kids happy for months!
