Bring the cosy autumn vibes into your classroom or home with these free printable Fall Pattern Block Mats!
They’re a fun, hands-on way for kids to practice shapes, colours, counting, and fine motor skills — while building creativity and confidence.
These mats are perfect for preschoolers, kindergartners, and early elementary learners.
What are Pattern Blocks?
Pattern blocks are classic math manipulatives used to explore shapes, symmetry, fractions, and spatial thinking.
They usually come in 6 standard shapes and colours:
- Equilateral Triangle (green)
- Square (orange)
- Hexagon (yellow)
- Trapezoid (red)
- Rhombus (blue)
- Thin Rhombus (White)
They’re available in wood or plastic sets, like the Melissa and Doug wooden Pattern Blocks, which this printable is based on.
💡 Tip: Be sure to get a standard set so they match most printable activities.
