If you are looking for fun and easy learning activities for preschoolers, you are at the right place.
In this post, I am sharing Pattern matching activity for preschool kids that are 3+ years old.
Why It Matters in Early Childhood
Children use visual discrimination to:
- Differentiate letters and numbers
- Sort and categorize objects
- Recognize patterns
- Follow directions
- Build pre-reading and pre-math skills
Free Printable Activity: “Find the Match!”
I’ve created a simple and engaging printable activity that you can use at home or in the classroom. The “Find the Match!” worksheet includes rows of similar images where children are asked to spot and circle the one that is different or exactly the same as a target image.
What’s Included:
- 1 printable page with simple shapes and lines
- Clear visual cues
- Perfect for ages 3–5
How to Use the Activity:
- Print the worksheets on regular paper or card stock for durability.
- Model the first example by pointing out the differences.
- Let your child try to point out the correct pattern on the circles.
- Praise their efforts to build confidence and motivation.
