These pattern printables will help your students practice making patterns for math. Keep reading for pattern grids printables and sticker pattern printables (also for dot marker patterns).

Pattern Grids Printables
Print and laminate these grids to use with manipulatives, such as cubes, bear counters, mini erasers, and many more. Or, print and copy these grids for children to make patterns with stickers, foamie shapes, paper punched shapes, or bingo dot markers. These are great to save for portfolios. You can cut these sheets or leave them as they are.
To make paper punched shapes, I use craft paper punchers to punch out paper manipulatives in different colors. Craft and hobby stores have these punchers in all kinds of shapes: apples, stars, frogs, butterflies, hearts, leaves, bears, circles, and many more. The pieces are about the size of a quarter, and they can be used to make color or shape patterns. Children glue the pieces on the grid in a pattern.

Pattern Sticker Printables (or Dot Marker Patterns)
These pattern printables have smaller spaces and were designed especially for the small chart stickers. My Pre-K students love chart stickers, and manipulating the small stickers is great for fine motor practice.
You can find these chart stickers on Amazon here:
You can cut these sheets or leave them as they are. You can also use the little star stickers that are found in pretty much any store that sells office supplies (discount stores often have them as well).
These same pages can also be used with bingo dot markers.

Thanks for allowing us using the brilliant ideas
I teach 3 year olds, what is the best way to introduce patterning?
Hi Jennifer,
Start with matching (things that are the same), then sorting (by color, by shape). Kids can’t make a pattern until they have mastered sorting. When you start patterns, start with AB patterns only. Start with clap, slap patterns or clap, jump in large group. In small group, I use Unifix cubes to begin with and I always start with black and white. Those two colors are the easiest to distinguish. (I’ve also taught children in the past who were later diagnosed as colorblind but their doctors, so using black & white to teach it in the beginning will ensure all children are learning when it’s introduced.)
Thanks so much, Karen for sharing your wonderful resources! More power to you!
Its very helpful, thank you for sharing your ideas God bless
