Help your Reception child recognise, continue and create repeating patterns through building play.

Pattern Towers turns recycled cardboard rings into a hands-on pattern puzzle. Your child threads decorated rings onto a simple tower stand to copy and continue repeating colour or shape sequences, then creates patterns of their own for somebody else to copy.

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, alongside printable pattern cards for inspiration. Start with a simple two-part repeat, then introduce longer patterns, missing pieces or deliberate mistakes to spot.
