Pattern Ideas For Preschool

Large dot stickers, a muffin tin, and plastic balls are all you need for this entertaining preschool activity! My 3 year old spent hours with this pattern recognition game, and he has wanted to do it over and over again. Just perfect for a rainy day inside! I've finally found a way to repurpose those plastic ball pit balls that he's outgrown. If you don't want to buy the dot stickers you can simply make your own patterns with white paper and markers or constructions paper cut-outs. So easy and fun!
