Key learning intention

To create a repeating pattern with two or more colours and shapes Resources

Rolls of wallpaper, printing materials such as sponge shapes, plastic bottle tops, cotton reels, rubber stamps that come free with home decoration magazines or anything that can be gripped easily and will create an interesting print effect.

Preparation

* Let the children experiment with creating repeating patterns with brushes, printing items and other apparatus, such as peg boards, linking cubes and threading beads. Have some nearby so that the children can refer to them and make the connection between the tasks.
