About this worksheet
Five strings of Christmas lights with AB, ABB, ABC and AABB color patterns: the first bulbs are colored and kids color the rest. The last string is blank, so kids invent their own light pattern. The answer key is on page 2. Big pictures and only a few tasks per page make it a gentle start for kindergartners. Add white for snow.
Tips for using it
- Red, green and gold make a classic Christmas palette.
- Point to each item and say it out loud, then say what comes next before drawing it.
- Name the pattern with letters once your child gets it: red, yellow is an AB pattern.
- Use real objects (blocks, buttons, snacks) to build the same pattern before doing the page.
Printing tips
