Help your Reception child discover repeating patterns using natural objects.

Nature Paths begins with a simple nature hunt, then turns leaves, sticks, stones, pinecones or flowers into repeating sequences on the ground. Your child looks for what is repeating, predicts what comes next and continues the path before creating a pattern for you to solve.

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. Begin with two alternating objects, then introduce three-part patterns, leave gaps to fill or hide a mistake for your child to spot.
