Requisites: Lego or Duplo, Duplo playmats

The simple patterns with repeating colours are visually easy for kids to spot and figure out.

Steps:

1. Reading the pattern out loud and using the language –large, small – allow them to look past the randomness of the colours.

2. You can extend the pattern making with 3 elements and this will be no trouble for your little one.

3. Once he is established that patterns are not just repetitive colour combinations , even a slightly more complex pattern will work with him.

4. Ask your child to reproduce his pattern on paper.

5. Mix it up by making a complete pattern race and timing children to see how quickly they can identify and source the missing pattern pieces.

6. Use the mathematical language that goes naturally with this activity, such as colours, pattern, repeat, larger, smaller, etc.

When you are confident that your child understands the concept, try introducing another colour or different sized block.
