hom e by doing the following activities.

coloured crayons or m arkers (green,
green, yellow; green, green, yellow;
green, green, yellow). Have your
child describe the pattern and tell
what com es next.
Sort laundry or grocery item s into groups with your
child (all socks, all shirts). Talk about how the
item s in each group are the sam e.
Ask your child to sort cutlery when you set
the table. Ask what is the sam e and what is
different about the item s (forks have tines,
all pieces have sam e handles).
Collect various shoes at hom e and put
them into a pile. Ask your child to sort
them (sum m er/winter; laces/velcro;
adult/child). Ask: “How did you decide
what to put in each pile?”
Go on a pattern hunt at hom e with your child. See
how m any things you can find that have patterns
(sweaters, socks, rugs, dishes). Ask your child to
describe the patterns.
