Day 1

Use teddy bear counters to introduce different types of patterns:

blue, red, red, blue, red, red= ABB pattern

blue, red, green, blue, red, green = ABC pattern

First allow the child to copy your pattern using his own bears. Then, allow him to add on another set to complete the pattern.

Use dot markers or stickers with the printables from this site to practice more patterns. You can also use some of the Cut it Out! Packs linked to that page to begin practicing using scissors.

Day 2

Use these Color Pattern Cards as a guide—Have your child copy the patterns using Unifix/ linking cubes or Legos. Help him assign each color a letter and discern which type of pattern he has made (ABC or AABB, etc.)

Play with Pattern Block Activity Cards.

Cut & Paste Patterns Printable Activity

Day 3

Make these simple Caterpillar Patterns as a craft using different colored scrapbook paper.

Use these Count & Clip cards (printed on cardstock or harder paper) with some mini clothespins to practice counting 1-20.

Day 4

How Many Ways Can You Make a Pattern? Write a simple pattern on a piece of paper or chalkboard using shapes. Use various math tools and other toys to copy the pattern. Scroll farther down the page and do the activity about making patterns with numbers. Use towers of Unifix cubes of different heights to make number patterns (tower of 3 cubes, tower of 1 cube, tower of 1 cube, tower of 3 cubes, tower of 1 cube, etc.).

Missing Numbers LEGO worksheets—To make this more hands-on, you could write the numbers 1-20 on the actual LEGO pieces and have the child stack them in order. Then remove the numbers that are missing on the worksheet to help him visualize the answers.
