Pattern Play with Colours EYFS and KS1

This resource, designed for KS1 and EYFS learners, offers a visual exploration of patterns and colour combinations.
Each of the 9 pages features 6 balls, with every ball divided into 3 sections, allowing for creative pattern creation. Page 10 is a blank template that children can use to create their own patterns.
Using two or three colours, the sections on each ball are filled to form unique colour combinations and patterns.
The resource emphasizes the importance of recognizing and creating patterns, helping children understand sequencing, repetition, and colour relationships.
The bright colour palette keeps young learners engaged as they explore different colour combinations on each page.
This hands-on tool promotes the development of visual perception, pattern recognition, while providing an introduction to basic mathematical and design concepts.
Duplicate, cut out and laminate the balls and children can play maths related games such as matching, finding colour combinations and making sets in different ways.
