Snowflake Pattern Block Mats

By Karen Cox | Affiliate Disclosure | Filed Under: Math, Winter Theme

Now that it’s Winter, these Snowflake Pattern Block Mats will be a fun addition to your math center.

Snowflake Pattern Block Mats

A reader asked me to make some of these and sent me some photos of snowflake designs she had made with pattern blocks. I took her designs and made them into printable pattern block mats. Since they were complex snowflakes, I also wanted to add some easier snowflake mats for the younger kids. I also added in the snowflake mat from the Christmas Pattern Block set.

Pattern Block Math Craftivity

You could use these mats to make designs with regular pattern blocks. You could also use them to make paper snowflakes to make a math craftivity. To do this, photocopy the blackline mats onto light blue paper. Copy a paper pattern block template onto white paper and cut out the pieces. Have children glue the white shapes onto the shapes on the blue paper, and you have math snowflakes!

Need Snowman pattern block mats? I have them on the Christmas Pattern Block Mats page.

If you like these, you’ll also want to check out my other Pattern Block Mats.

What are Pattern Blocks?

Many people ask me what are pattern blocks? These are a common learning material in classrooms, and are sold in educational supply catalogs. They are small blocks that are placed flat on the table to make a geometric design. They are not meant to be stacked. They are not tangrams. They come in a standard size and standard colors. To read more about them and where to buy them, visit my pattern blocks page.

    Thank you so much for these free printables! I just printed them and am getting a station set up right now for my 3-year-old daughter to wake up from her nap to! I have yet to introduce her to pattern blocks (something I, as a teacher, have had hidden away in the closet), but with the snowflakes being such a timely topic right now, this is a perfect time. Thanks!

    Thank you so much for sharing these! I did your original animals with my son a few years ago. i came back to your website to reprint the bee and was thrilled to discover so many more pattern mats! My daughter is reusing the animal mats in color but I just printed the snowflake mats for my son in outline only…more challenging and very focusing for him.

    I’m so grateful!

    I have a light table and transparent pattern blocks in my classroom so I trace the pattern block designs onto a clear piece of lamination plastic with a sharpie marker and ruler. My students love to see the colorful designs all lit up!
