Pattern recognition and building helps build a strong math foundation for children. Here is a simple yet effective pattern activity for your preschooler. I like this pattern because it is extremely simply, isolating really just the pattern itself or the difference between “X” and “O”. Notice the color and size are the same. For our learning, this piece is important.
Here is the FREE download of the simple pattern and the Xs and Os I purchased from Target. These Foam Letters and Numbers would give you plenty patterns with which to work and they are inexpensive!
A sweet book to read around this time of year is called Hug Time.
