Patterns are one of my favorite math concepts to teach for a number of reasons! Patterns can provide organization in a chaotic world. They are one of the many math skills that can be taught through hands on activities. And finally, they are fun to teach! These Squirrel and Acorn Fall Pattern Activities for Preschoolers are a great way to get your little learners practicing the skill of recognizing and completing patterns!

Little ones will love helping the cute squirrel in the math activity create colorful patterns with his acorns! This activity focuses on finishing AB patterns for preschoolers!

What Are Preschool Pattern Skills?

A pattern is a repeating sequence of objects, numbers, letters, colors, or shapes!

Preschoolers typically learn about AB patterns, which is when two thing in a sequence are alternating.

After preschoolers have mastered pattern recognition, they can work on completing patterns, and then for a challenge see if they can create patterns of their own!

How To Introduce Patterns To Preschoolers:

Teaching patterns to preschoolers doesn’t have to be complicated! If you aren’t sure how to explain patterns to preschoolers, start simple!

  • To introduce patterns, first use unstructured playtime as an opportunity to observe and talk about patterns! Try building a simple tower and alternating colors. See if your little one learns to recognize the pattern you are creating!
  • Snack time can be another wonderful opportunity to talk about patterns! Using colorful snacks like goldfish or fruit loops you can easily make some fun, edible patterns!
  • Use colorful dot stickers to work on fine motor skills and pattern creation! You start by taking four stickers and alternate the colors and the give your little one the chance to finish the pattern!
  • Exploration of patterns using pattern blocks is an activity little learners will love!
