Help your Reception child copy and check patterns using an everyday egg box.

Egg Box Packing turns an empty egg box into a simple pattern-copying puzzle. Your child uses coloured pom-poms, LEGO or buttons to reproduce an arrangement shown on a homemade pattern card, checking colour, position and repetition as they work.

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. Draw or sticker your own pattern cards, begin with just a few colours and then introduce longer arrangements, gaps or mistakes to investigate.
