What pattern skills should a 4-year-old have?

Four-year-olds should recognize simple AB patterns (red-blue-red-blue), copy patterns using objects or colors, and begin to extend patterns by predicting what comes next. Worksheets with color patterns, shape patterns, and size patterns provide structured practice for these skills.

Kindergarten Patterns Worksheets

Ages 3-6 · 6 sub-topics · Free previews · Print-ready PDFs

These pattern worksheets for preschool and kindergarten help your little ones recognize, continue, and create repeating patterns using shapes, colors, and objects. Understanding patterns is one of the earliest mathematical thinking skills. Students who can spot and extend an AB or ABC pattern are building the logical reasoning that supports all future math concepts.
