Hello rock and roll kids. Here is the first lesson of typing. Through this flash, you will learn how to type on the keyboard using your fingers correctly.
In this lesson, Mr. Goat will be your teacher. You just need to do the exercises by following the background voice. Once you typed correctly, the funny music will be heard as a praise.

First of all is the home row which includes the letters "asdfghjkl" and a semicolon ";" or colon ":". Put your left and right hands' index fingers respectively on "f" and "j," and leave all the other fingers conveniently on the other letters of the home row. Now you've got the right gesture.

Next is the "space" button. This is very easy to acquire. You can type it with either of your thumbs. Mr. Goat shows his face in the next step and says that this is a big moment to check if you can type correctly the home row and the space together. There is a boundary line between "g" and "h" which separates the home row into two parts. The "g" part is controlled by your left hand, The "h" part is the territory of your right hand. Remember to move your index finger to type on "g" and "h." After learning this, a comprehensive exercise comes. At the end, you will hear a letter song sang by Mr. Goat and his lady chorus. You can sing and dance with them to enjoy your success at this stage.

Rock and rolls, now off you go!

Because of the colorful scenes and nice music, the kids can be very easily attracted. They will be focused on the cute characters and will feel happy when they type the right words and are praised. Don't be afraid of typing incorrectly because there is an alert sound that says "type on me" and the icon of the letters which need to be typed will flash.

What Kinds of Games Can you Play with Cards?

Card games are a great option because one deck of cards can create a multitude of games. With a simple deck of cards, you have an endless amount of fun! Consider incorporating these classic games into your next family game night, it'll be a guaranteed good time!

Here are 10 fun card games for kids that the whole family can enjoy!

10 Fun Card Games for Kids

This classic card game is perfect for younger kids as well! The eight card is wild, giving this card game its fun name!

Number of Players: 2 to 5

Objective: Be the first player to get rid of all your cards!

Deal: Each player gets five cards, one card at a time. The remaining cards are placed in the center with the top card flipped over face up to create a new pile.

Playing: Grab the cards that were dealt to you and keep them hidden from the other players. Working clockwise, players will take turns to either play the same number or same suit on top of the card that is in the face-up pile.

An eight card is considered a wild card and can be played on top of any card. The person who plays the eight selects any suit and the next player has to play a card of the selected suit.

If at any time, a player cannot play a card of the same number or suit, they can draw up to three cards from the face down deck in the middle (if you'd like, you can opt for unlimited card draws!).

Winner: The first person to get rid of all their cards is the winner!

A fun card game to help develop young children's focus and concentration skills. They must pay attention to keep from losing in this game!

Number of Players: 2+ (A great game for larger groups!)

Objective: To win all of the cards.

Deal: The cards are dealt one at a time face down to each player until all the cards have been dealt.

Playing: The game play starts when the first player flips over their top card, making a new pile of cards face up. Going clockwise, the next player does the same thing until all players have done so.

When a card is turned over that matches a card already face up on another player's pile, the first person to notice the matching card yells out "Snap" and wins both piles of cards. Add these cards to the bottom of your face-down pile.

If two players yell "Snap" at the same time, the two piles are combined and placed in the center of the table, face up. These cards are now the Snap Pot. If at any time, a player sees a card that matches the card on the top of the Snap Pot pile, they call out "Snap Pot" and win all of those cards.

If a player runs out of cards in their face-down pile, the cards in the face-up pile are turned over and the player continues.

Winner: The winner is the person who has all of the cards at the end.

Little hands can develop matching, pairing, and counting skills as they play this easy card game that results in multiple winners and one big loser!

Number of Players: 2+

Objective: Don't be stuck with the old maid (the Queen) at the end!

Deal: Remove one of the Queen cards from the deck and deal all of the remaining cards evenly to the players face down. Since there are 51 cards, the number of cards received may be slightly uneven.

Playing: Each player looks through their cards and pairs up any matches. Put these face down in front of you. After all the pairs are matched up, player two draws a card from player one's hand face down. If player two made a match, place those cards face down. Continue playing, moving clockwise (player three then chooses from player's two hand).

When a player has paired up all the cards from his hand and is out of cards, he is out of the game and safe from becoming the Old Maid.

Winner: The person with the last card (the Queen) is the Old Maid and the loser of the game!

4. Spoons

This fun, fast-paced game gets intense quickly! Players will have to keep up as they match four of a kind and pay attention to the pile of spoons in the middle simultaneously! You will also need a few plastic spoons for this fun game.

Number of Players: 3+

Objective: Don't be the only person without a spoon when the round ends.

Deal: Each player is dealt four cards face down, one at a time. The rest of the deck is kept face down and put next to the dealer. The spoons are also set up in the middle of the players. Place one fewer spoon than the total number of people playing. (So three spoons for four players).

Playing: Players will look at their cards and keep them hidden from the other players. The dealer starts the game by drawing one card from the deck and discarding a card of his choice, face down to the person on his left.

The player to the left of the dealer will pick up that card and choose to either keep it or pass it to the player on their left, face down. Each time a card is picked up, a new card must be discarded.

The dealer (and all the other players) continue to pick up and discard new cards, so the game keeps moving quickly.

When a person gets four of the same card, they can discreetly grab a spoon from the pile in the middle. As soon as a spoon is grabbed from the middle, other players can quickly grab a spoon as well.

The player who doesn't grab a spoon in time loses the round and gets an "S" assigned to them. The next time they lose a round, they get the letter "P." This continues until they spell SPOONS.

Winner: The person who spells SPOONS first loses the game. When a player is out of the game, remove one of the spoons from the middle and continue to play with the remaining players. The last player remaining wins! A simple game for players of all ages.

This has got to be one of the best card games from so many childhoods! Kids will love having the chance to slap the cards as they play this fun, hilarious game!

Number of Players: 2+

Objective: Get all of the cards from the other players.

Deal: Using a standard deck of cards, cards are dealt one at a time, face down and split evenly amongst all the players in the group. Cards remain face down, without players looking at them.

Playing: The first player places their top card face up into the middle of the group pile. Moving clockwise, the next player does the same. Players continue to do this, moving fairly quickly as they play each card.

When a player puts a Jack card face up into the pile, the first person to slap the pile gets to keep the entire deck of cards underneath it. That player will shuffle the pile and add it to their existing cards.

Winner: When a person runs out of cards, they are eliminated from the game. The last person who has all the cards at the end of the game wins! It's so simple and SO much fun!

The classic game of Go Fish could not be more simple! It's a perfect game for beginners, and easy for kids to learn! You can play with a classic card deck or buy a fun animal or alphabet game to add even more education to the game!

Number of Players: 2+

Objective: Get the most four of a kind sets. (Variation: For younger players, you can opt to collect pairs instead of "books" of four)

Deal: Dealer gives each player 5 to 7 cards. The rest of the cards go in the center, face down. These become the Fish Pond.

Playing: Players look at their cards and keep them hidden from the other players. Players will match up any same cards initially. When it's your turn, ask another player for a specific card. For example, "Mom, do you have any fives?" If she has any fives, she has to hand all of them over. If she doesn't have any, she says "Go Fish" and you then draw one card from the top of the deck.

If you draw the card you just asked for, show it and take another turn. Then it goes to the next person's turn.

When you get four of a kind, remove them from your pile and place them face up.

If a player runs out of cards, they draw five new cards from the fish pond. The game ends when all of the cards in everyone's hands are gone.

Winner: The winner is the person who has the most four of a kind at the end.

Pig is a fun and silly game, even for younger kids. While they may not be able to match four of a kind as quickly as older kids, they can certainly pay attention to other players to avoid becoming the pig!

Number of Players: 3+

Objective: Be the first player to collect four of a kind, or don't be the last player to notice when someone else has four of a kind.

Deal: Each player receives four cards face down, one at a time.

Playing: Players look at their cards. The goal is to be the first one to collect four of a kind. Each player passes one card to their left and then picks up the card that was passed to them on their right, keeping this goal in mind.

This card passing continues as quickly as possible, making it challenging for players to keep up with the pace.

As soon as one player has four of a kind, they stop passing or picking up cards and put a finger to their nose. Once the other players notice this, they also stop passing and put a finger to their nose as well.

Winner: The person who puts their finger to their nose last is the pig! They get a "P" assigned to them for this round. The first person to spell PIG loses the game. A great card game for all ages!

Looking for an easy card game that your kids can play all on their own? This is it! This classic card game brings out the competitive spirit in everyone and is so fun and simple!

Number of Players: 2

Objective: Collect all of the cards (or the most cards) by the end of the game.

Deal: All cards are split evenly amongst two players. Cards are dealt face down and players must not look at them. (No peeking!)

Playing: Both players will flip their top card over at the same time. The player who placed the card with the higher value (Ace is the highest and two is the lowest) wins both of the cards. Put the cards won in your pile face up. Continue playing until you reach the face up cards. Once those cards are reached, shuffle your pile and continue to play.

When two cards of equal value are played at the same time, that means war! Players put three cards face down and then flip one card face up. The player that has the highest card value showing wins all 10 cards.

Winner: The person to get all 52 cards wins the game! This one can go on for a while, so it's perfect to keep kids busy for longer stretches!

Just like its name implies, players will have to work quickly to get rid of their cards faster than their opponent.

Number of Players: 2

Objective: The object of the game is to be the first player to get rid of all of your cards.

Deal: Players will sit across from one another as the dealer hands out five cards to each player, one card at a time and dealt face down. The dealer then hands out 15 additional cards to each player in a separate pile, face down and one at a time as well.

The remaining cards are set up face down in the middle of the players in four separate piles: A pile on the far left with five cards, a pile next to it with one card, one card next to that, and finally five cards in the pile on the far right.

Playing: Players will pick up their five cards to start the game. Keep your cards hidden from the other player.

Each player will flip over the one-card pile in the middle. Players work to eliminate their cards one at a time by placing a card one number higher or one number lower on top of the card in the middle piles.

Players can work at their own pace, eliminating cards one at a time into either deck in the middle, without waiting for the other player. They can pull one card at a time from their pile of 15 cards, keeping five cards in their hand at a time.

If both players get stuck, they must wait for the other player and then flip over the top card from the piles on the far right and far left, continuing to put cards of one higher and one lower value down on the new cards in the middle.

Winner: The winner is the person who gets rid of all their cards the quickest and shouts out "SPEED!" at the end.

10. I Doubt It

This is a perfect family card game to help you learn when your kids are bluffing! Catch them in the act of fibbing as you play this game of I Doubt It. It's the only time it's okay to tell a little white lie!

How to Play

Number of Players: 3+

Learn the multiplication tables in an interactive way with the free math multiplication learning games for 2rd, 3th, 4th and 5th grade. The game element in the times tables games make it even more fun learn.

Practice your multiplication tables

Here you can find additional information about practicing multiplication tables at primary school. The 1 times table, 2 times table, 3 times table, 4 times table, 5 times table and 10 times table are the first times tables to be learned. The 6 times table, 7 times table, 8 times table, 9 times table, 11 times table, 12 times table and of course all the tables in random order are the next step.

Not every child finds it easy to learn all the tables, so it is a good idea to keep on practicing them regularly after you learned them. There are a few tricks which make it easier to learn the tables and continue to master them, such as putting the smallest number first, which makes it easier for many children to answer correctly. For example 4 x 9 is easier to work out than 9 x 4. Switching the multiplication sum around makes it easier to answer. What also often helps is to use the tables you know well for answering the sums in the more difficult tables. One example of this is 6 x 7, which is often said to be tricky. If you do 5 x 7 first and then add 1 x 7 it is suddenly easier to answer. You can do this the other way round too. For instance with 4 x 7 you can do 5 x 7 first then subtract 1 x 7.

Why do we put so much effort into learning tables? Well, the multiplication tables keep on coming up in the next primary school years and even when you're at secondary school. You don't see them as tables, but as part of bigger mathematical problems. And it isn't only at school, but in your everyday life it is useful to know your times tables well so you can quickly work things out, for instance when you are buying or selling vegetables on the market. If you have any questions, comments or ideas for Timestables.com, please use our contact form. We'd be glad to hear from you.

The 5-step plan

Learn the times tables with the 5-step plan. We developed an innovative five step plan to help pupils learn the times tables in an effective and efficient way. This method has been tested at several schools and is recommended by teachers.
The steps are:

Step 1a: View, read aloud and repeat. To get familiar with the table.

Step 1b: Fill in your times tables answers in sequence and check if you got them all right.

Step 2: Drag the correct answers to the questions.

Step 3: Fill in your answers for the mixed questions and check if you got them all right.

Step 4: Multiple choice questions will help you to improve by looking at the questions in a different way.

Step 5: Proof your knowledge and get the diploma.

We advise to exercise daily for 15 minutes for maximum result.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I learn my times tables fast?
Learn them in chunks. Start with the easy times tables like 10, 2, and 5. Use methods like skip counting, adding and exercising daily for 15 minutes for a maximum long-term result.

What is the hardest times table in the world?
The 7 times table is the hardest to learn because 7 is a prime number, and so the last digit does not repeat itself until 10 times 7. The hardest times table question is 6 times 8.

From Irish myths and legends starring warriors like Fionn Mac Cumhaill to slightly terrifying stories from Irish folklore, featuring the Abhartach (the Irish vampire), there was no shortage of tales to be told.

Irish Mythology boasts such a wide range of tales and stories, many of which have stood the test of time and are still present in Irish culture today.

In the guide below, we're going to give you an insight into where Irish mythology came from, the most popular Irish myths, and why it plays such an important part in Irish culture.

Popular Stories from Irish Mythology

Now, if you're looking to discover what Irish mythology is all about, scroll halfway down this guide. There you'll find what it actually is and you'll also learn about the different cycles of mythology in Ireland.

Many tales and stories that date back thousands of years have been told time and time again right the way across Ireland, usually passed from parent or teacher to child.

In the section below, you'll discover many of the most popular Irish myths. If you're looking to read about fairies, vampires and other slightly mad stories, drop into our Irish folklore section.

The story of the Salmon of Knowledge is one of my favourites that involves Fionn Mac Cumhaill. It all begins when a young Fionn is sent to be an apprentice with a celebrated poet named Finnegas.

It's during his time with Finnegas that Fionn learns of a magical fish that holds the knowledge of the world. According to the poet, the person who eats the fish will inherit all of its knowledge.

One day, while the pair were sat on the banks of the River Boyne, the poet caught a glimpse of the salmon and, without hesitating, he dived into the water and caught it.

He asked Fionn to cook it for him, but under no circumstances was he to eat it. Fionn agreed and went about cooking the Salmon. After a couple of minutes, Fionn turned the salmon and burned his thumb on the searing flesh.

Without thinking, he stuck his thumb into his mouth to ease the pain. He instantly realised his mistake.

The poet returned and he knew by the look on Fionn's face that something was wrong. You can read the full tale in our guide to the mighty Salmon of Knowledge.

The Cattle Raid of Cooley (AKA the Tain Bo Cuailnge) is one of the best-known stories that involves the warrior Cu Chulainn. The story begins with Queen Medb and an argument with her husband over who was wealthier.

Each had their servants pile up their riches in two piles side-by-side. It became immediately evident that the one thing Medb's husband had that she didn't was a champion bull.

Medb knew of only one bull in Ireland that would help her pip her husband. That very day she sent a servant to meet the owner and offer him great riches in exchange for a loan of the bull.

He was about to agree when he overheard one of Medb's servants state that they'd have stolen the bull if the man turned them down. He was infuriated and he denied Medb's request.

Medb was enraged and a battle began. However, this was no ordinary battle, oh no - on one side, there was Medb and hundreds of men. On the other, there was a young boy named Cu Chulainn. Read the full story in our guide to the Tain.

The story of the Banshee terrified me as a child. My dad used to say that there was one living down my Nan's back garden, and I'd always be nervous about seeing it.

Now, depending on who you speak to, Banshees (a terrifying Irish mythological creature!) take on different forms. Some say that it's a spirit, others describe it as a fairy, of sorts. I've also heard it described as a ragged old woman with wild hair.

The scream of a Banshee is believed to be an omen of death. According to legend, if a person hears the scream ring out, one of their family is set to pass away shortly.

But are Banshees real? Well, there's definitely a very clear link behind this myth and reality, and it comes in the form of the 'Keening Woman'. Learn the full tale in our guide to the Banshee.

Many years ago there lived a King called Lir who was the ruler of the Irish sea. The King was married to a woman named Eva and the couple had four kids. One day, when the kids were still little, their mother died.

Soon after, the King married Eva's sister, Aoife. Aoife was very fond of the kids at the start, but this changed. She quickly became jealous of the time that her husband spent with his kids.

Aoife soon reached breaking point and she came up with an evil plan. She decided that she would cast a spell that would transform the kids into swans for 900 years.

300 years were to be spent on Lake Derravaragh. Another 300 years were to be spent on the Sea of Moyle. And the final 300 were to be spent on the Island of Inish Glora. Read the full legend in our guide to the Children of Lir.

The Puca is a mischievous little creature that's often misunderstood as evil. Yes, the Puca can cause trouble and strife, but its interactions with humans have never lead to injury or death.

The Puca is one of many shape-shifters in Irish mythology and it has the ability to change its appearance with ease. Known to frequent quiet corners of rural Ireland, the Puca can bring either good or bad fortune.

One of the stories about the Puca that tends to be told quite a bit is how it takes on the appearance of a horse and waits outside pubs for people that have had one drink too many.

The Puca horse offers the person a lift home and, when they climb aboard, it takes them on a wild ride home, jumping over trees and through bushes, terrifying the person. Find out more about its tricky ways in our guide to the Puca.

The pursuit of Diarmuid and Grainne all begins when Grainne, the daughter of Cormac MacAirt, is set to marry the warrior Fionn Mac Cumhaill. It's at their engagement party that Grainne is first introduced to Diarmuid.

It was love at first sight. Now, Grainne had a problem - she needed to tell Diarmuid how she felt, but the room was full of people. So, she decided to drug the food and drink and wait for people to konk out.

Soon after, Grainne and Diarmuid were the only two left standing and it was then that Grainne expressed her feelings. At first, Diarmuid refused. Then he agreed and the two fled.

Sometime later the drugs wore off and Fionn realised what had happened. He set off on a journey to find the pair and to kill Diarmuid. Read the full story in our guide to the pursuit of Diramuid and Grainne.

The Morrigan was one of a number of powerful Celtic Gods and Goddesses that roamed the lands of Ireland at one point.

She was primarily associated with war, fate and death and was a known shape-shifter that often favoured transforming into a crow.

The Morrigan, like the Puca, was a gifted shape-shifter and was one of the Tuatha De Danann, who were the folk of the Goddess Danu.

The Goddess Morrigan had a number of battles with Cu Chulainn and although it wasn't at her hand that the warrior died, she was involved in the event that led to his death. Read more about the story in our guide to the Morrigan.

Tír na nÓg was the land of eternal youth that existed somewhere in the western sea. The story of Oisin and Tír na nÓg is one of the most popular tales from Irish mythology.

The story begins when Oisin was off hunting with the Fianna. Out of nowhere, a beautiful princess on a white horse appeared, stating that she wanted to take Oisin with her to Tír na nÓg.

For Oisin, it was love at first sight and he immediately agreed. The pair travelled across land and sea to reach Tír na nÓg and they spent three happy years there.

Then, Oisin felt homesick and it was agreed that he could return to Ireland once his feet never touched Irish soil. When Oisin arrived in Ireland, he realised that 3 years in Tír na nÓg was 300 years in Ireland.

He was devasted. But things got much worse. Discover what happened in our guide to Tír na nÓg.

9. The Legend of the Giant's Causeway

The legend of the Giants Causeway is one of the best know tales from Irish mythology. It stars a giant named Fionn Mac Cumhaill and it tells the story of his battle with a Scottish giant.

One day, Fionn was visited by a messenger from Scotland. The messenger had been sent by a Scottish giant who wanted to challenge the Irish giant to a fight.

Fionn agreed and he made his way to Scotland, using great chunks of land that now form the Giants Causeway. When Fionn reached Scotland, he saw his opponent in the distance.

The giant was huge. Fionn retreated to Ireland and came up with a cunning plan to terrify the Scottish giant. Read all about it in our guide to the Giant's Causeway legend.

The Abhartach is arguably the scariest of the many creatures to inhabit the worlds of Irish mythology. The story of the Abhartach all began with Patrick Weston Joyce, an Irish historian.

Joyce published a book in 1869 titled 'The Origin and History of Irish Names of Places.' It was in this book that the world was first introduced to the Abhartach. The Irish vampire.

The book contains a story about a place in Derry called Slaughtaverty. It was here where, many years ago, an evil dwarf that possessed magical powers lived.

The dwarf terrorised the local community until one day a local chieftain killed and buried it. It escaped the grave the following day and returned for blood. Read the full story in our guide to the Abhartach.

We were told many tales about Cu Chulainn growing up in Ireland, but it wasn't until many years later that I first heard the story of how he died.

The warrior's death came about when the sons of the men that he killed over the years came together to seek revenge. The story goes that Cu Chulainn's fate was sealed when he broke a taboo.

In ancient Ireland, the refusal of hospitality and the eating of dog meat were two well-known taboos. One day, while out hunting, Cu Chulainn was approached by an old hag who offered him dog meat.

If he said no, he'd break a taboo. If he said yes, he'd break a taboo. His hands were tied. He turned away the hospitality and, soon after, he entered his final battle. Learn all about it in our guide to Cu Chulainn.

The Tuatha dé Danann were the fiercest rulers to ever roam Ireland. They were a supernatural race that arrived in Ireland when it was ruled by the Fir Bolg.

When they landed in Ireland, they immediately travelled to the west to see the Fir Bolg and to demand half of Ireland. The Fir Bolg refused and a battle commenced.

The Tuatha dé Danann came out on top and they went on to rule Ireland for many years. Read all about this mysterious race in our guide to the Tuatha dé Danann.

What Actually is Irish Mythology?

Mythology refers to a collection of myths from many years ago that tell the stories of a group of people. Everyone from the Roman's to the Greeks had their own form of mythology.

It was within these narratives that gifted story-tellers explained how the world evolved to become what it is today. It's believed that Irish mythology dates back thousands of years to when the Celts arrived in Ireland.

Irish mythology falls into 4 different cycles. Each of the cycles (Mythology Cycle, Ulster Cycle, Fenian Cycle and Cycles of the Kings) are unique and are filled with different stories.

In the section below, you'll discover each cycle, what they're about and you'll also get an insight into the stories that belong to them.

The Mythological Cycle is the earliest cycle in Irish mythology. It revolves around a number of stories that feature 'godlike peoples'. Many of the stories from this cycle feature the Tuatha Dé Danann.

The Mythological Cycle tells of five invasions of Ireland that were paramount in the forming of the country. This cycle offers an insight into how the island of Ireland first came to be inhabited and it details the many struggles that followed those who came here.

Next up is the Ulster Cycle, which many say took place around the first century. It's during this cycle that we're introduced to many a warrior and mighty battle.

This cycle of Irish mythology brought us the warriors of King Conchabar, the most prominent of which is the legendary Cu Chulainn.

The Fenian Cycle of Irish mythology primarily focuses on the great warrior Fionn Mac Cumhaill and his many exploits, like the legend of the Salmon of Knowledge.

This cycle tends to revolve around the institution of warriors, with the stories of the Fianna taking centre stage at the beginning.

The final cycle of Irish mythology is the Historical cycle. This cycle blends history with mythology and its main characters are Labraid Loingsech (myth) and Brian Boru (real).

The Cycles of the Kings dates to after Saint Patrick came to Ireland and it's said to have been influenced by Christian teachings.

It seems that every New Year brings with it new trends in almost every aspect of one's life, and this 2015 is no different. Recently, there has been a sudden interest in images made from double exposure photos to gorgeous low poly portraits that you could spend hours looking at.

Then, there is also the rather mysterious sounding "Zentangle." Just repeat that name to yourself a couple of times and you can sense a certain mystery to it.

The term "Zentangle" may be totally new to you so to untangle the mystery of the term, all you need to know is that it is an easy way to come up with great artwork using structured and repetitive patterns.

With that simple definition in mind, you will also want to delve deeper and that said, Zentangle art works are really just miniature pieces of abstract, unplanned, and black-and-white materials.

It is a very specific method that uses simple and structured patterns that are called tangles. They usually measure 89mm per square tile. That might sound a bit complicated but nothing can be further from the truth. These Zentangles, for all their beauty, are fun and relaxing to create.

In fact, it has been said often enough that the process of coming up with a zentangle is a form of "artistic meditation." What usually happens is that the artist becomes so absorbed with making a pattern that they become focused on the one-stroke-at-a-time concept.

There are no rules as to what images you can make and really, anyone can come up with a Zentangle. The method will bring about a sense of well-being along with a sense of satisfaction at what has been created. This is an art form that is suitable for people of all ages and skill level. It is so popular that people from all over the world are doing it.

Now that you know a bit more about Zentangle is, it is time for you to come up with your own. Remember, these images are not supposed to be anything! You can come up with a beautiful pattern that is all your own.

If you think you can learn or if you want to get inspired, have a look at some outstanding Zentangle works that are featured below. Sure, you may need some practice to come up with the same caliber of Zentangle artwork but you will get there one day!
