Mini Buddha Board – Green

The Mini Buddha Board is an elegantly packaged, 5-inch square portable buddha board. It folds backwards onto its own small easel stand, has a little trough for water if desired, and comes with a small paint brush. The coloured minis ‘paint’ in their case colour (e.g. green ‘paints’ green).
Master the art of letting go…

Buddha Board is inspired by the Zen idea of living in the moment. You simply paint on the surface with water and your creation will come to life in bold design. Then, as the water slowly evaporates, your art will magically disappear leaving you with a clean slate and a clear mind, ready to create a whole new masterpiece.

Buddha Board is environmentally friendly – no ink, no paint, no chemicals – and will last for years with proper care. Live for the moment, and enjoy!
