What is a Pattern block?

Pattern blocks are a type of manipulative used in early childhood education to teach mathematical concepts, such as geometry, symmetry, and fractions. Usually, they are made of Wood or Plastic and come in these standard shapes and colours.

Yellow Hexagon
Red Trapezoid
Blue Rhombus
White Rhombus
Orange Square
Green triangle

These blocks can be used to create various patterns and designs, and children can explore and develop their spatial reasoning and problem-solving skills by manipulating them.

Pattern blocks are often used in combination with pattern block mats or templates, which provide children with specific designs or patterns to replicate using the blocks.

We have Wooden Pattern blocks from Mellissa and Doug, and I also created this printable based on this Set.

What’s included in the Summer Pattern Block Mat Printable?

The Summer Pattern Block Mats free printable includes seven different patterns:

Boat pattern block mat
Fish Pattern block mat
Crab Pattern block mat
Ice cream Pattern block mat
Lifebuoy Pattern block mat

In addition to the pattern blocks themselves, each page also features a counting activity where children can count the number of each type of pattern block used and practice writing the corresponding number.

Preparation

The Summer Pattern Block Mats can be simply printed and used, making them a no-prep activity. However, if you plan to use them in a classroom setting, laminating them can make them more durable for multiple uses.

If you want to skip lamination for home use, you can add transparent tape to the bottom counting block. This will allow you to write with wipe-erase markers and wipe them off easily.

Usage Instructions for Summer Pattern Block Mats

To use the mats, simply place the pattern blocks in a container, give the child one of the mats, and ask them to start building. Children can recognize the shapes and place the pattern blocks directly on the mat.

Older children can also recreate the pattern on a table using the mat as a visual guide.

Once the pattern is complete, you can count the blocks and write the number in the bottom block to help children practice their counting skills.

So as you see, It is a fantastic way to work on various early learning skills.

Benefits of Using Pattern Blocks for Kids

There are many benefits for kids who use pattern blocks, including:

Develop Spatial Reasoning Skills
Practice Fine Motor Skills
Encourage Creativity and Imagination
Helps to learn Math Concepts

Overall, pattern blocks are a fun and engaging way for children to learn and develop a variety of skills that will benefit them in many areas of their lives.
