5 mindful colouring pages to create a moment of calm in the classroom. Focus your student’s attention and enjoy the beauty and simplicity of repetitive patterns. Using colours that reflect inner mood, complete stunning images. Count shapes, find patterns, spot types of angles and encourage use of geometrical terms.
A resource suitable for children within EYFS, KS1, PS1 and PS2. Great for fine motor skill development, for introducing African prints and patterns as part of Art and Design or Expressive Arts.
In this introductory lesson, students explore the elements of line, pattern, and colour to create a vibrant “patterned landscape”. Through guided instruction, students will experiment with repetition and arrangement to establish engaging patterns within their compositions.
This lesson is perfect for cover lessons and includes a fun “register pattern bingo” activity that students love.
All you’ll need are A4 paper and pens for the students to get started.
Enjoy it and if you like my resources, please leave a review :)
This train-themed resource includes a variety of activities to support matching, colouring, and pattern for KS1 and EYFS learners.
Page 1: A train engine with 11 colourful carriages, each a different colour pattern. (You could duplicate, cut out and laminate the small cards for matching games).
Page 2: 12 different colour patterned engine cards. Duplicate, cut and match or children can use to build a train with their choice of colour carriages.
Page 3: Black-and-white version of the engine and carriages for children to colour freely or copy colours from previous pages.
You could task the children with making each carriage different using a set number of crayons. Children could share their creations at the end of the session to see if anyone else has an engine or carriage the same as them!
Page 4: Black-and-white version of the engines sheet for children to colour in. Page 5: A train scene colouring page, using an engine and two carriages.

A cute little activity to support colour knowledge and pattern matching
Contains -
x9 strips with various arrangments of the colour monsters
x1 table sign
dots to stick on pegs for colour matching
colour monster images to sue for pattern matching
A quick and easy activity set up to help support pattern matching and colour identification.
I use these with multilink cubes.
Contains -
x1 table sign
x4 A4’s each with 3 pattern strips
Each pattern strip is a simple repeating pattern of 2 colours. Ideal activity for start of year
Here are 5 colour patterns for children to copy.
Each page shows a colour pattern and a black and white template to fill in.
Children can also make their own design colour patterns.
A resource linked to Spring, Summer, Animals or Insects.
Sheet 1 shows 6 outline butterflies for children to colour in using their own ideas of colour and pattern. They could make them all the same, all different, or make them so that they match the colour butterflies in sheet 2.
Sheet 3 shows the 6 colour butterflies in sheet 2 with the colour circles left clear. Children can add their own colours or the matching colours for sheet 2.
Talk about colour, pattern, shape and symmetry with the children.
Duplicate the sheets, cut out and laminate for matching games.
Enlarge the sheets for use with a range of media such as paint and collage or to add to displays.
This resource is a collection of 18 colour flashcards that can be cut out and laminated if desired. It can be used with practical resources such as blocks, bricks, gummed squares of paper.
It includes:
Flashcards (18): Brightly coloured images of ‘Stickle’ blocks / bricks.
Practical Activity Sheets (2): Children use blocks, bricks, or square gummed paper to recreate the patterns shown on the sheets. They can also incorporate number by counting colours and how many blocks in each tower.
Colouring Sheets (2): White brick templates where children can colour in the bricks to match the colour patterns shown.
Brick Copying Pages (2): Colourful brick patterns for children to replicate by placing bricks or blocks directly on the template and / or colour in the template.
This resource supports learning about colour, pattern, and shape.
It’s ideal for Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and Key Stage 1 (KS1), helping develop fine motor skills, spatial awareness, and pattern recognition through hands-on and creative activities.
3 different butterfly colour patterns for children to copy.
They could use a range of media such as felt pens, paint, collage or crayons.
Extend by asking children to make a colour butterfly pattern for their friends to copy.
Links to symmetry.
This is a lesson plan with an associated Student Worksheet.
In this lesson, students use their observation skills to explore our environment. They will explore some of the amazing colours, shapes, patterns and textures that can be found in nature. The class will walk around the school or a nearby park, spot as many colours as they can, observe the different shapes and patterns found along the walk and feel the different textures of a variety of objects.
Students will build on their skills to recognise and classify familiar two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional objects using obvious features. They will use a range of methods to sort information, including drawings, and learn about how to behave in a safe manner while outdoors.
Children can produce beautiful pictures for Mothers Day whilst learning about shape, colour, symmetry and pattern and enjoying adding colour to these 65 original colouring sheets.
They can even use the patterns to make cards!
set of 54 colour pattern strips, these can be used with pegs, counters, anything with the matching colours! great for colour recognition and pattern work. There are also incomplete patterns for children to carry on and blank strips for children to make their own patterns. These can be laminated and used as a classroom resource or photocopied and used as a worksheet or homework.
This is a great resource to put in pupil's individual TEACCH boxes or for independent tasks to consolidate matching, sequencing and following a pattern.
The flashcards are clear and uncluttered for maximum pupil focus.
They can be used with threading cubes to also promote and encourage fine motor skills.
