Pattern activity ideas

Ideas for making patterns

For preschoolers try printing patterns with DUPLO bricks. We used a big sheet of paper and made really long patterns.

You could try drawing patterns.

For older children you could make patterns with loom bands, or normal size LEGO bricks.

Other ideas for making patterns

Press lego bricks or pasta into play dough.

Make symmetrical patterns with natural objects or with DUPLO and an egg box like The Imagination Tree.

Or, how about potato print patterns like Rainy Day Mum?

How else could you make a pattern?
