Kids love pattern play! Here's a simple and affordable way to practice creating patterns that the kids will be sure to enjoy!
What you'll need: pipe cleaner and beads.
That's it! Easy, right?
We used pony beads but you could also use fuse beads if you have them on hand or want something a little different.
What we love about fuse beads is that the younger kids can use the bigger beads while the older ones can use the smaller, standard beads.
Step 1: Set aside a handful of beads and a couple of pipe cleaners to create an inviting invitation for play.
Step 2: Bend one end of the pipe cleaner to keep the beads from falling off.
Step 3: Start stringing! Ask the child if they can come up with a pattern using the included beads. You could always offer a suggestion if need be.
We like to pull out our beads and pipe cleaner when a little quiet time is in order, such as waiting for dinner, before nap time, or when Mom or Dad need to make a quick phone call!
