Help your pre-schooler discover patterns using the natural world around them.

Nature Patterns is a simple activity that encourages children to collect natural objects and use them to create repeating patterns. As children arrange leaves, stones, sticks, flowers or other treasures they find, they'll practise recognising, creating and continuing patterns, while exploring colours, shapes and textures in the world around them.

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. The activity is designed to be flexible. Head into the garden, park or out on a walk and use whatever natural objects you find together to create your patterns.
