Summer Pattern Match Worksheet for Preschoolers

How to use this worksheet

Look at the beach ball, float, and umbrella shade on one side of the page with your child and describe the color pattern out loud together, such as 'red, yellow, red, yellow.' Then look at the umbrellas on the other side of the page and help your child compare each pattern carefully before deciding which umbrella matches which item. Once they've identified a match, have them draw a line connecting the item to its correct umbrella, repeating the process for all three pairs.
