What you need
- Large beads in a few colours
- String or pipe cleaners
Setup
- String a short pattern (e.g. red-blue-red) on one piece of string
- Give the child their own string and a matching bead pile
- Place the sample pattern where both can see it
Play prompts
- Can you copy this exact pattern?
- What colour comes next?
- Can you make your own pattern for me to copy?
Ways to change it up
- Use pasta shapes instead of beads for a cheaper version
- Make the pattern longer for an older child
Safety notes
