Is it still a “Zen” Tangle with a 4-year old?

Every year at our all-company meetup we do Flash Talks – a four minute presentation on whatever you want.

This year I saw one about drawing zen tangles (I think by Kristen Symonds). ❤️

I can’t remember the complete steps from the presentation 😣 but have been trying a variation with my 4-year-old daughter who loves to draw. 

I’d like to put an emphasis on variation, because Zen and 4-year old don’t always belong in the same sentence.

We’ve been doing them together and just doodling our hearts out. She is intently focused on the drawing for the first twenty to thirty minutes before she runs off, I finish the drawing out, and then if I forget to put it away – she fills in designs with solid color when I’m not looking. Doh!
