Making Colour Patterns

EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

In this colouring activity, students colour caterpillars to match the given pattern types (e.g., AB, ABB). Designed for early and middle years students.

Learning Objectives:

  • Recognise and understand different pattern types (e.g., AB, ABB).
  • Develop colour patterning skills.
  • Enhance fine motor skills through colouring.

How the Activity Works:

Students will colour the caterpillars according to the pattern types provided on the sheet. For example, they might colour one segment of the caterpillar red, then the next blue, to match an AB pattern. This activity helps students recognise and replicate various patterns, while also practising their colouring and fine motor skills.
