This activity helps children develop pattern recognition, colour matching, and counting skills while encouraging fine motor development. It includes a 5x5 blank grid alongside pre-designed pattern templates for children to copy by colouring in or positioning colour objects. Pages 1-10 feature different patterns that children can replicate using coloured pens, crayons, blocks, or small squares of gummed paper. Page 11 introduces a colour word challenge, where children read the colour names and fill in the grid accordingly. The activity supports early mathematical thinking by reinforcing repetition, symmetry, and sequencing. Laminate the sheets and place them in the Number Corner for continuous use with coloured blocks or dry wipe makers. For extension activities, children can play a Roll & Colour game to create random patterns based on dice rolls.

Count and Colour Challenge is a fun 10-page activity designed for young learners, combining early maths skills with reading comprehension. Each page features six black-and-white illustrations based on a specific theme, such as transport, balloons, circus, blocks, numbers, letters, Easter, and food. Below each picture, simple instructions guide children to count and colour objects in specific ways — for example, “Colour one balloon pink and one purple” or “Choose a different colour for each of the three bunnies.” This interactive approach strengthens counting skills, number recognition, and colour awareness while also encouraging children to ‘read for meaning’ and follow directions. The resource is ideal for independent learning, guided reading or home practice.
