Clothing Pattern Matching Worksheet for Preschoolers

How to use this worksheet

Look at each clothing item on the left and describe its pattern together, using words like 'striped' or 'spotted.' Have your child search the items on the right for the one with the identical pattern, color, and arrangement. Once found, let them draw a connecting line between the matching pair using a pencil. Continue through the page, and finish by coloring the matched clothing items with crayons.
