Creating Perfect Patterns for Kids

This document provides guidance for a preschool lesson on patterns. It begins with an opening statement about reading a book highlighting patterns in nature. Children will then explore patterning with materials of different sizes, colors and shapes. The teacher will scaffold the learning by pointing out patterns and encouraging children to build on their creations. As children's skills develop, they will make more complex patterns independently with various materials. The lesson concludes with a warning before clean up and suggestions for follow up activities like noticing patterns outside.
