Drooping Branch Zentangle Tree Full of Doodles

A whimsical Christmas tree is built from curved, drooping branch sections, and each section is filled with its own doodle pattern. The top section has loose swirls and spirals, with a narrow strip of curved lines and tiny dots beside it. Below that are a panel of small outlined stars with scattered dots, a panel of wavy lines with shaded circles, a section of leaves along diagonal stripes, and a flower with layered petals in the lower right. A black dot sits at the tip of each branch. The trunk is striped with rows of dots, and an eight-point star with dotted tips sits on top. Try giving every pattern panel a different color family, such as greens for the leaves and warm yellows for the stars. Older kids can practice careful shading in the small circles, while younger ones can color the larger shapes. It also works well as a quiet holiday table activity, and you can print as many copies as you need.
