Materials
Purple construction paper (light and dark colors)
Scissors
2-3 size circular objects to trace around
Directions
On purple paper, trace around 2-3 different circle shapes. Cut out circles.
Invite your child to sort the circles into two groups: big and little
Sort using a different criteria: light purple circles and dark purple circles
For an added challenge, encourage your child to copy your pattern. Then she can try extending the pattern that you have started with the circles. Once your child understands that a pattern repeats, invite your child to create their own pattern.
