These Christmas pattern block mats are a fun way for kids to learn while they play. Pattern blocks teach children about shapes and geometry, as well as develop their visual discrimination skills.

More free printable pattern block mats are available on the Pattern Block page. Each mat comes in color and blackline, depending on your preference. The blackline mats offer more of a challenge as children figure out which shape goes in the space. Click on the thumbnails to download and print the mats.

They are so nice! Thank you so much for sharing. My daughter enjoys the pattern blocks from Melissa & Doug. Will they fit on these too? If not, where do you get these pattern blocks? Thank you!
I’ve never seen the Melissa & Doug pattern blocks so I don’t know, but the ones I use are just the standard pattern blocks that are sold by any educational supply company.
Awesome thanks so much!
Thanks for another great printable!
My kdg. teacher son just called last night to ask if I could find some seasonal pattern block mats for him. I wasn’t sure if I could, but right off I found your Christmas ones. Thanks!! Are there other season ones that I have missed? pat
Thanks so much for the comments! Pat, I don’t have any for other holidays. I’ll have to see if I can figure out some designs for other holidays.

Thank you!
What a great website you have! I have found some really great ideas for my junior and senior kindergarten children to use for Christmas and the Winter season. I love your winter printable word cards. I am interested if you will have any more for fall and spring? This is a site I will be visiting often. Thanks!
Thanks, Christine! Right now, the Winter cards are the only set that I’ve made. I do plan to make more cards, but will have to add it to my to-do list — they are a lot of work, but I believe they are worth it.
thank you!
You were a life saver this morning. (2-22-2011) I had misplaced a book of pattern shapes so I went to my trustworthy Google to look for some free pattern shapes. Thank you thank you thank you!!! I work with first graders in Lithonia, Ga. (a subburb of Atlanta). I wish I could send you pictures of them working with the pattern blocks. They did not want to stop creating shapes. I then asked them to create something on their own. I had robots, flowers, a telephone, a person, and a rabbit.
Thanks for the posting these wonderful learning tools. I love them.
thanks!
Thanks for the wonderful learning tools. Will use them often this year!
Thanks, Connie!
They are awesome. Me and my two daughters love them.
Thank, glad you like them, Tracy!
Love these pattern block cards- look forward to using them in a few months!
thanks, Jan!
Thanks for sharing all your hard work. We appreciate it! 🙂

Thank you so much for these great printables. My children enjoy doing the block patterns for hours. What a blessing these have been for our family.
Blessings,
Michelle
thanks, Michelle!
Karen, thank you so much for sharing. I’m teaching my little boy in K5 this year. These patterns will work perfect with our math lessons and are so cute!
Thank you so much…these are wonderful….
Downloaded these and the regular ones. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful resources!
thanks, Kendra!
Thank you so much for being so generous with your work and ideas.
Thank you very much for the lovely printables.

Thank you!!
Thank you so much. I’m in a co-op with other 3 other moms doing preschool for our girls and is nice to find such a great resource. Thanks again.
Thank you! WIll be using these with pre-k and Kinder kids!
thanks, Betsy!
Thanks so much!
I really love the idea of the pattern blocks! However, where do I get them? I saw some pattern blocks on amazon, but not quite sure if they would be the right size.
Thank you,
Heather
I believe most pattern blocks are standard size. Try Lakeshore Learning or Kaplan or ABC School Supply.
Thank you very very much!!!!!
Thanks for sharing!!
Printed these for my preschool-age kids – thanks so much, they will be occupied for quite awhile with these! 🙂
thanks, Nicole!
I have a question, I’m new to pattern blocks and wondering if you buy the wooden shaped blocks to do this activity? I know my 3yr old would love this, but I don’t have any blocks yet.
Hi, my classroom already had the wooden pattern blocks, so I didn’t have to buy them, but most educational supply catalogs have them. Try Lakeshore Learning or ABC School Supply or Kaplan.
Thank You !!!!
I really enjoy yoru website. I love all the ideas. This is my 1st year to teach Kinder. I have taught other grades but nothing so low. Seeing your ideas sparks ideas of my own and I enjoy implementing yours in our classroom. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
thanks, Shara!
I’m putting these out for my 2nd graders to give them more ideas for making shapes. Thanks!
glad you like them, Heather!
You are amazing, i love these. Thank you!
I LOVE the pattern blocks!!!! My kids will love these so much…thank you so much for sharing these:))
glad you like them, Cherine!
Thank you for sharing these. I can’t wait to use them.
thanks, Karla!
I love these, thanks! For those of you asking about pattern blocks, I think you can order them off Amazon. You can also get them in foam, and Heidisongs has paper pattern blocks- you could run them on cardstock and laminate.
I was doing lesson plans for the week and wasn’t sure what I wanted to do for math: boring routine stuff or fun Christmas activities?? YOU came to my rescue!! You are so talented and giving. i really appreciate what you have shared. Thank you, thank you! Merry Christmas!!!
thanks, Julie!
Thank you so much for this resource! I will be adding it to our kindergarten math center!!!
Thank you so much for all your great resources. I’m a homeschooling mom and you save me tons of hours. Merry Christmas! God Bless you!
Thanks, Esther!
Love these. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Christina!
Wow, thanks. I am going to use these in combination from a sight word idea from pinterest. The shapes will have sight words written on it and pairs play Bingo by reading the word and using it in a sentence before covering the shape with the matching pattern block! I can’t wait to play this with my kinders!!!
Thank you so very much Karen. I’ve just given my 3 children (2 1/2, 4 and 7 1/2 yrs) a set of wooden pattern blocks yesterday. So generous of you to make and share these patterns. My DS (7 1/2 yrs) is doing them right now as I print them out and laminate the sheets. He’s so excited. Happy New Year.
Thank you soooooooooooooooooo much!
You’re an angel!!!
My kids will love this… so will my grandkids!
Wow, thanks Joy! It’s great to know that others will be able to use and enjoy them!
Thank you ever so much for sharing your files so freely, they are really appreciated. Kindest regards
Thank you so much for sharing. I love to use pattern blocks with my first graders and the more patterns the better!!
Thanks, Leslie! Glad you like them. I’m planning to add more when I have time.
SO gracious of you to share these!!! They are awesome. My almost 4-yr-old son has autism, and he LOVES pattern blocks. The last day of school is Thurs, so I’m working hard to put activities together for him and his little brother. Thanks for sharing!!! =)
Hope your son enjoys them, Candace!
Thanks LOADS. I’ll be using these with my Kinders in the coming year. Great! MUCH appreciation.
You’re welcome, Karen! Thanks for visiting!
OMG! How awesome! Thank you for making these! Can’t wait to use them in my math stations this year~
You are welcome, Kelly! Thank you for visiting my site!
These are wonderful! I printed both sets. Thanks so much. My daughter is having a blast on the floor behind me right now!
I’m so glad, Shannon! Thanks for visiting!
Thanks for sharing! I love your site!
Glad you visited my site, Terri!
Thank you so much. I love the idea of putting them in a notebook. I think I will make 3 getting slightly more challenging. I appreciate these very much!
Thanks, Elissa! Glad you like them.
thanks for these great pages! Just printed them to use in our homeschool! 🙂
Thank you so much for sharing! You are so generous!!!
These are wonderful. I have been searching the internet for something similar and these are just perfect. You are so creative. Thanks for sharing!!
Absolutely brilliant! Thank you, so much.
Thank you SO much!! I searched the internet for almost an hour before I typed the right search to get exactly what I was looking for. I was so excited to find patterns that show the lines so my girls can learn how to use these! I came across a gallon bag of tangrams at a garage sale and needed patterns for my girls to be able to use them (they are 2.5 and 4). As soon as I printed off the first ones they were already sitting down putting the pictures together on their own! They love them and I thank you for actually having free printable patterns that preschoolers can use.
Thank you so much–these are awesome! Thank you for your generosity in sharing these!
I absolutely love your pattern block mats! Thank you for providing them for free! My kids and students LOVE them! I am wondering where you create them – do you have a program or do you just do it in a word type file – I’d love to be able to create my own that look good (I’ve tried -but they are really rough looking) and I am unable to find anything on the internet for programs to do them. Thanks for your help!
Home schooling my 4 year old (he’s already been through pre-k and is Kindergarten level). These patterns are brilliant! I’m so glad you shared. He is looking through the print-outs now and just finished the “dog” one. 🙂 *For those wondering where to buy patterning blocks – they are standard size. I ordered via Amazon.com/ & e-bay.*
Beautiful : )
Thanks a lot! I can not only use these for math but also for a fun activity with my first graders! God Bless!
i love these! i would like to use these in our church Advent activities we are giving families. would that be okay? that means i will print these out and include them in a packet to 50 or so families. no selling, just free to the families. please email me or send me a comment on my blog. thanks!
WOW!

Dear Karen,
Thank you so much for sharing all your very interesting ideas and resources. This material is extremely valuable. I will definitely be using it with my preschooler students and sure, they will love it!
Thank you for sharing! These are great! 🙂
Thanks so much! These are great practice for my students, and it was just what I was looking for. I appreciate that you shared your hard work.
These are great. I am using them for my Kindergarten and Elementary school kids. Thank you so much!
Thanks, Matthew! I’m glad to hear you can use them with older kids, also!
Thank you SO much for the additional patterns for my pattern blocks! The kids will love the addition to our set!
i’ve got some of these blocks in my classroom and needed new patterns easier than mine, thanks a lot for sharing!!
Thanks so much for letting us use these for free. I’m wondering if you have a set without the lines, or if there is an easy way on Adobe I could erase the lines inside the shape for even more of a challenge ; ) I used good ol’ white-out on the duck template, but there’s got to be a more tech savvy way. Ha ha!
Thank you for these patterns! I work in Special Ed and I know the children will enjoy working with these.
Thank you, Karen! I look forward to using these with some students in speech therapy sessions.
My Grade One students really enjoyed using these pattern block mats. Thanks 😊 for sharing!
