This free printable pattern worksheet can work for a differentiated set of ages. 

Some of the items that can be used with these rainbow patterns are: 

• Pom poms

• Finger paint

• Stickers

• Educational Manipulatives 

• Learning resources manipulatives

• Erasers

• Dot stickers

• Dot markers

• Beads

• Buttons

• Cereal

Toddlers can have fun learning with kids finger paint! 

I like to dot a pattern of red, blue, red , blue, red, blue. 

Then, I will ask my toddler, “What comes next?”

She or he will dot their finger on the correct color and dot it on the last box on the sheet. 

Preschoolers can go about learning in this way and even a bit more advanced. 

For example, instead of an AB pattern, try an AABB pattern. 

For example, dot red, red, blue, blue..

Ask your preschooler, “What comes next?”

How to use the Rainbow Pattern Templates 

There are a plethora of ways you can go about using this simple pattern of a rainbow printable. 

We like to write out sight words, letters or a simple name activity on a dot sticker and onto the sheets within this rainbow pattern template. 

Then, we will go about matching the dot stickers to the sheets. 

We also like creating a pattern and on the last box, we will write out the color name that comes next.
