Cozy, Clever, and So Much Fun: Autumn Pattern Fun Pack
Wuffy Play and Learn IDShare
Bring all the cozy fall feels to your learning time with our Autumn Pattern Fun Pack—a hands-on, screen-free set that sneaks math thinking into playful, pumpkin-spiced activities. Kids build patterning skills (AB, AAB, ABB, ABC, and beyond), strengthen fine-motor control, and boost attention while working with cheerful icons like pumpkins, acorns, boots, apples, and colorful leaves.
What’s inside
- Printable pattern mats with clear rows and empty boxes for “what comes next?” practice
- Cut-and-use picture tiles (multiple fall images in several repeating sets)
- Leaf sequencing sheets for quick independent work or centers
- Clean, ink-friendly layouts + photo examples for easy setup
Skills they’ll practice
- Pattern recognition & extension (identify, continue, and create patterns)
- Sorting & classifying by shape/color/theme
- Fine-motor precision (cutting, placing, gluing)
- Math language (using terms like repeat unit, next, before, after)
How to use (zero-prep or low-prep—your choice)
- Print the mats and tiles (cardstock recommended).
- Cut the tiles; store in a small tray or envelope.
- Invite kids to complete, correct, or create their own patterns.
- Optional: Laminate the mats and use hook-and-loop dots for a reusable center, or slip into page protectors and use dry-erase markers to draw missing items.
Classroom & homeschool ideas
- Morning tubs / math centers: rotate sets by pattern type (AB this week, ABC next).
- Partner challenge: one child builds a pattern, the other identifies the repeat unit and extends it.
- Movement math: assign each symbol a motion (🍎 = jump, 🍁 = clap) and act out the pattern.
- Write & explain: have learners circle the repeat unit and label it in the margin to build vocabulary.
Who it’s for
Perfect for Pre-K to 1st grade, Montessori-inspired shelves, RTI small groups, and fall theme weeks. It’s also a great quiet-time activity for after-school programs and substitutes—just print and go.
Teacher tips
- Print two copies of the tiles to support longer patterns and sorting stations.
- Color-code the backs of different tile sets to keep pieces organized.
- Send a mini home pack so families can practice patterns at the dinner table.
