Help your Reception child explore symmetry through colourful, hands-on pattern play.

Butterfly Pattern Wings is a visual matching activity that encourages children to recreate a colourful design so that both butterfly wings match. As they copy the colour and position of cubes from one wing onto the other, they'll practise recognising symmetrical patterns, matching arrangements and comparing quantities while developing careful observation skills.

Simple to set up and easy to adapt, you'll receive a parent-friendly guide with clear instructions, practical learning tips and ideas to extend the play as your child's confidence grows. You'll also receive a printable butterfly template, ready to use with MathLink cubes, blocks or similar colourful objects to create and copy different symmetrical designs.
