Pattern Pants Craft - Fine Motor & Patterning Activity
This playful hands-on craft activity helps young learners practise recognising and creating repeating patterns using cut-and-paste shapes. Students cut out coloured shapes, arrange them in a pattern on the pants template, and then colour their patterned pants.
A great activity to support early algebraic thinking, visual sequencing, and fine motor skills in one fun task.
