Bring creativity into your classroom with our Art pattern colouring page eyfs core resource. Designed specifically for children aged 3 to 5, this engaging activity sheet helps young learners explore the fascinating world of shapes and repeating designs. As children work through the patterns, they develop essential fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and spatial awareness, all of which are vital for early writing development.
This Art pattern colouring page eyfs core is perfectly aligned with the Australian Curriculum (ACARA) for Expressive Arts and Design. By identifying and continuing simple sequences, children begin to understand the mathematical concept of patterns, bridging the gap between art and early numeracy. Zara the zebra, our resident art expert, joins the fun to encourage children to experiment with different colours and textures as they fill in the shapes.
Teachers can use this resource as a calming independent task, a focused activity during carpet time, or as part of a continuous provision rotation. Because this is an Art pattern colouring page eyfs core resource, it is tailored to the expected standard for Foundation learners. It encourages children to focus on precision and pattern recognition, helping them build the confidence to create their own designs independently.
To support your classroom planning, we have included five questions to promote discussion:
1. Can you name the shapes you see in the pattern?
2. Which colour will you choose to repeat next?
3. Can you spot a pattern that repeats twice?
4. How does your pattern look different from your friend’s pattern?
5. If we added a new shape to the end of the row, what would it be?
