🌀 Zentangle coloring pages

About these Zentangle pages

Zentangle is a drawing method created by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas in the United States. Instead of drawing a picture, you divide a shape into sections with a loose pencil line called a string, then fill each section with a repeating pattern called a tangle, such as stacked crescents, woven bands or rows of tiny circles. The original method uses black ink on small square paper tiles.

Our zentangle coloring pages come already tangled: an animal, a feather or a heart filled with dozens of small patterns. Because every section holds a different pattern, you can give each one its own color or leave some white for contrast. They suit teens and adults who enjoy fine lines and slow, focused coloring.
