Hello kidoo2017,
Thanks for commenting on this resource - I'm glad to hear that it will be so useful :)
4 years agoThis is so useful, I will probably cut the pages in half, different ways, as my Y1 class may not have the puff to finish a whole page. The size is good- too small and it becomes too hard for those with less hand eye coordination. It links well with the prints of animal fur patterns on Twinkl. As stated above it allows the children to focus on repeated colour as part of the pattern.
I'm using all this pattern stuff for computer ed lessons linking digital art with subliminal computational thinking: making sure children are aware of pattern and understand the repetitive element of pattern.
Hello Lisebb,
What a great way of using this resource! Thanks for sharing your ideas.

Traditional African patterns are used to create different designs and prints on fabrics which are worn by people to a number of different occasions.
African patterns usually feature bright colours and the repetition of intricate shapes and textures that are laid out in a unique arrangement.
Different patterns and prints can represent status, hierarchy and even allegiance to tribal roots.
