The following links will allow you to correctly construct and repeat patterns using a model, and correctly sort objects by color, size or shape. You will also find activities that will allow you to look for objects that are alike and different.
Look at each picture and identify how they are different from each other. http://www.fisher-price.com/us/littlepeople/section.asp?section=WWTP

I like to wear necklaces. Use the like below to construct pattern necklaces using a model. Please choose the red level 1 bead to begin. http://www.crickweb.co.uk/assets/resources/flash.php?&file=beads
Sometimes we need to sort objects. Sorting means to put all items that are alike together in a group. Use the link below to help Flo & Zo sort objects by color. http://www.scholastic.com/clifford/play/sortitout/sortitout.htm
You can find patterns all around you. Look around your house and identify patterns like the ones you created using the necklaces. Remember what they look like? An example is red, blue, red, blue. See what you can find and draw them on a piece of paper using your crayons.
