Creative Patterns

Worksheet Description

This worksheet features a rainbow with each of its arches divided into multiple sections containing different shapes such as hearts, circles, and diamonds. The activity directs children to color the rainbow using a creative pattern of their own choice. Below the rainbow, there is space provided for students to describe the color pattern they used. The design of the rainbow encourages creativity, as the shapes within each arch can be colored in a variety of ways to create patterns.

The worksheet is teaching students to explore color patterns and to express their creativity in a structured format. By deciding how to color each shape, children practice making choices and exercising their artistic skills. Describing the pattern they’ve created encourages them to use descriptive language and reinforces the connection between visual arts and verbal expression. Additionally, the activity can serve to enhance fine motor skills through the act of coloring within the lines of the intricate shapes.
