What Are Growing Patterns?
Growing patterns are sequences where each step gets bigger or changes in a
special way!
Just like plants grow taller or you grow bigger, patterns can grow too! We can see growing patterns in
nature, in toys, and even in our snacks.
How Patterns Grow
1️⃣ Start with one item
2️⃣ Add something new each time
3️⃣ Watch the pattern grow!

Parent Tips 🌟
- Patterns in nature: Point out growing patterns like flower petals, tree rings, or shells at the beach.
- Building blocks: Create growing towers with blocks (1 block, then 2, then 3) and have your child continue the pattern.
- Snack patterns: Make snack time fun by arranging crackers or fruit in growing patterns before eating them.
