Patterning Activities for Preschool

Welcome to Pre-K Pages!

I’m Vanessa Levin, a curriculum writer, early childhood teacher, consultant, public speaker, and author. I help busy Pre-K and Preschool teachers plan effective and engaging lessons, create fun, playful learning centers, and gain confidence in the classroom.

Patterning skills develop as preschoolers have experiences with patterns in different ways. Identifying patterns, noticing similarities and differences, and creating repeating patterns are important skills for math and literacy development. These activities can help your preschoolers develop these important skills.
