Pattern and Colour for EYFS and KS1

(0)
This resource is designed to help young children explore patterns and develop their understanding of colours. It includes: • Blank Colouring Template (Sheet 1): A simple grid template featuring blocks of 6 lines, which children are encouraged to fill in using only 3 different colours. The objective is to create unique patterns, ensuring no two blocks of lines are the same. • Example Patterns (Sheet 2 & 3): Two examples are provided to guide children in creating their own patterns. Example 1: Uses blue, red, and yellow to fill the blocks, demonstrating how the three colours can be combined in different sequences to make distinct patterns. Example 2: Uses purple, orange, and green, showing another variation of how three colours can be creatively used to fill the blocks differently. This activity encourages children to think about colour combinations and use their creativity while working within the constraint of using only three colours. It’s a fun way to reinforce their understanding of patterns and develop their fine motor skills through colouring. Children could begin the exercise by using colour blocks to create patterns or they could use gummed paper shapes to stick on the blank template. Teachers can use this template as part of a lesson on colours, patterns, or as a creative exercise in EYFS or KS1 maths lessons.
