Pattern Recognition for Preschoolers - Easter Color By Pattern

Pattern Recognition for Preschoolers - Easter Color By Pattern

If you have been reading my blog for a while you know that I am obsessed with pattern recognition for preschoolers. Patterns are an essential pre-skill for math and reading instruction. Math and literacy are based on pattern recognition. Every math formula is a pattern and the literacy rules sounding out words, writing sentences, writing paragraphs etc are all based on patterns.
All of this is to say that I find pattern recognition to be pretty darn important. And I focus on it a lot with my kiddos.
So I have created a freebie for you all to use with your kiddos highlighting pattern recognition.

Focus Skills

Patterns

  • Create simple A-B-C or A-B-B repeating patterns

Visual Arts

  • Use a variety of visual art materials (paint, markers, crayons, clay) with minimal adult assistance
  • Use visual arts to represent people, places, and things, using spatial awareness to coordinate the features of the representation
  • Explore the use of materials in a variety of different ways
  • Identify basic colors

Fine Motor Skills

  • Coordinating the use of arms, hands, and fingers together to manipulate objects with increasing accuracy

Teacher Tip

Encourage your child to color in based on the pattern (ex: A-B) instead of doing all the A’s and then all the B’s. If you do color one letter at a time, go back and discuss the patterns when you are done.
