Help your pre-schooler explore patterns through colourful, hands-on play.

Caterpillar Matching is a fun pattern activity that encourages children to look closely at colourful caterpillars and recreate the patterns they see using beads, pom poms or similar objects. As children copy each caterpillar, they'll practise recognising and matching colour patterns, noticing what comes next and developing their sequencing skills through hands-on play.

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 printable caterpillar pattern cards to copy.
