Make a Pom-Pom Pattern – Colour Matching Activity

Make learning hands-on and fun with this Make a Pom-Pom Pattern activity! Children use colourful pom-poms to recreate patterns by matching the colours shown on the activity cards.

This simple, engaging resource supports early maths skills through practical, visual learning. Children can select the correct coloured pom-poms and place them onto the matching circles, following each pattern from start to finish.

What’s included?

• Printable pom-pom pattern sheets featuring a range of colourful sequences.
• Repeating colour patterns for children to recreate.
• A simple, visual activity that can be used with pom-poms or other coloured loose parts.

Skills supported:

• Colour recognition and matching
• Pattern recognition and sequencing
• Early maths skills
• Fine motor development and hand-eye coordination
• Attention and concentration
• Visual discrimination

Perfect for: Early Years, Reception, KS1 and SEND learners.

This activity is ideal for continuous provision, small-group work or adult-led learning. It can also be adapted to meet individual needs, with adults modelling the pattern, offering colour choices or encouraging children to complete one circle at a time.

How to use: Print the sheets, provide a selection of coloured pom-poms and encourage children to match each pom-pom to the corresponding colour on the pattern card.

A fun, hands-on way to develop early learning skills through play!
