Easter patterns

We've already covered the basic patterns when we were talking about clothes, but decorating Easter eggs has brought the topic up again.

Checked, flowery, stripy, plain, spotty were the words to revise. Much to my surprise E. remembered them.

We did a little painting but E. was not willing to paint patterns, so I followed her lead. It was long time ago when I gave up sticking to a project.

At another occasion I drew Easter eggs on the whiteboard and also the name of their patterns mixed up. She enjoyed matching the words and the patterns. She also mentioned that we can call something spotty polka-dotted as well.

That's all about patterns at Easter. I'll come back with another post on our Easter this year.

St. Patrick's Day Patterning Printable

I've managed to prepare my first FREE printable. I'm not very good with computers but I managed to put together this Saint Patrick's day patterning activity for E. as lately she's been really into pattern activities. It is also available for you to download.

You just need to print and cut it out, if you want it to be more durable, you can also laminate the cards.

E. enjoyed it a lot, though she found it hard to pronounce leprechaun. I'm not surprised. (Unfortunately The Story of The Leprechaun book I ordered hasn't arrived yet.)

The ABABA patterns and the ABBABB ones went easily.

Though the ABCABC pattern was quite a challenge.

Whoops! Wrong...

That's it!

After having finished the patterns we played a memory game with the extra cards.

Lep.. lepr.. Mommy, you say...

Match!
