Coding Kites Worksheet: Match the Bows!

How to use this worksheet

First, have your child cut out the bows along the dotted lines at the bottom of the page. Next, look at the color pattern on each kite together and find the bow whose colors repeat in the same order. Once a match is found, apply a small dot of glue to the back of the bow and press it onto the matching kite's tail. Repeat until every kite has its correct bow, then let your child color in the rest of each kite.
