Mini Pattern Lesson

Cut coloured paper into small squares and sort.

Draw a selection of different lines for your child to follow along with their pattern

Say “what makes something a pattern?” “It has to follow a set of rules/it repeats itself”
Tell the children they can use two colours or if they want to make it more challenging they could use 3 or 4.
