Patterns are one of the first maths skills young children learn, and these free printable cut and paste pattern worksheets turn them into a hands-on game. Each of the 10 sheets shows six rows of shapes, and children cut out the pieces and paste them in the right order to finish every pattern.
Every page is a black and white PDF with six short pattern rows, from circles, squares and triangles to hearts, moons, apples and fish, so one page is a complete short activity for preschool and kindergarten children, at home or in the classroom. Print the pages in any order and work through the patterns one row at a time.
What Is Inside the Cut and Paste Pattern Worksheets Bundle
The 10 sheets cover the pattern types children meet first: ABAB, ABCABC, AAB and AABB, using circles, squares, triangles, stars, hearts, moons, suns, apples, bananas, flowers, fish and beach balls. Each row gives four pictures and two empty boxes, and children cut out the pieces and paste them in the right order to finish the pattern.
Cut and paste pattern worksheets like these build early maths thinking, the ability to spot what comes next in a sequence, along with scissor control and careful looking. Because the pages are black and white, children can colour them in after finishing, which turns every page into a second quiet activity. It is part of our fine motor worksheets collection, where all the cutting, pasting and tracing sets live together.
