Here’s a Valentine’s Day printable for your little ones – a heart pattern worksheet. Love is in the air and hearts are everywhere, but can your little ones work out which hearts will be next?
Patterns are all around us and and children love to spot them. Patterns can help children understand the world around them, how things change over time, and begin to make predictions.
This pattern worksheet is a great way for young children to practice their scissor, logic and reasoning skills.
There’s AB, AAB, ABB and ABC patterns for them to complete.
