Extending Patterns

These extending patterns worksheets can do double duty and keep kids busy for a long time. Three of the pages are a cut and glue activity pages. Have kids say the patterns out loud for even more fun and so they can hear the pattern. “Frog, fish, worm, frog, fish, worm. The frog comes next!” In three of the worksheets children can examine the patterns and draw the shape that comes next. Then they can color the shapes in a pattern.
