Balloon Pattern Matching Worksheet for Preschoolers

How to use this worksheet

Look at the row of balloons on the left side of the page together and say each color aloud in order, like 'red, blue, red, blue.' Ask your child to study the balloons on the right and find the set that matches the same color order exactly. Once they've identified the correct match, have them draw a line connecting the two matching balloon groups, or use small pieces of playdough or colored paper cutouts to physically rebuild the pattern. Repeat for each row of balloons on the page.

Materials needed

• Pencil
• Playdough or paper cuttings

Extension activities

• 1Build a real balloon pattern using inflated balloons or balloon pictures and ask your child to continue it by three more balloons.
• 2Use playdough to roll small colored balls and recreate the balloon pattern in 3D.
• 3Create a wearable pattern by lining up colored beads on a string in the same repeating sequence.
• 4Look for repeating patterns around the house, like tiles, striped clothing, or wallpaper.
