Pair of Overlapping Acorns Filled With Zentangle Patterns

Two large acorns sit side by side, one tucked behind the other, with a curved stem rising from the back cap. Each acorn has a rounded cap and a pointed nut, and every section is filled with intricate patterns. The caps show swirls, scalloped petal shapes, and curling spirals. The front nut has wavy horizontal bands, leaf and teardrop shapes, small spirals, and a flower-like fan design near the tip. The back nut has leaf shapes, fan patterns, and curved lines. The stem has fine lines and little dashes. Because the patterns are small and detailed, this page works well for older kids, teens, and adults who like slow, careful coloring. Try colored pencils or fine-tip markers in warm browns, golds, and deep reds, using a different shade for each band on the front acorn so the wavy stripes stand out. Print as many copies as you need for a quiet afternoon activity.
