Nature Tracing Patterns

Nature Tracing Patterns is designed for EYFS and KS1 children to explore nature while developing important early learning skills.
The pack contains 2 worksheets, each featuring 15 circular nature-themed patterns with tracing lines and pictures to colour. These can be enlarged. There are another 3 pages with an enlarged selection of shape patterns with two per page.
Children carefully trace around the patterns and colour a variety of natural objects, including apples, leaves, petals, shells, strawberries, animals, and other nature-inspired images.
The symmetrical designs encourage children to notice repeating shapes and patterns found in the natural world.
