About this worksheet
Six rows of fall pictures (leaves, acorns, pumpkins, apples, corn and owls) in AB, AAB, ABB, ABC and AABB patterns. Instead of drawing, kids pick the next picture from three choices and circle it, which suits preschoolers who are not drawing details yet. The answer key is on page 2. Little ones can do most of it with crayons, and a grown-up can read the short questions aloud.
Tips for using it
- 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.
- When a row has a mistake or a gap, read it from both ends; the rule has to work in both directions.
Printing tips
Download the PDF and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). Page 1 is the worksheet and page 2 is the answer key with the answers in red; print just page 1 if you want to keep the answers for checking. Free for personal, family and classroom use.
