Get your students excited about patterns and pre-coding skills with this fun, hands-on activity! Simply print and hand out the pattern templates included in this resource, and let your students recreate each pattern using real popsicle sticks.

This activity helps young learners (kindergarten) develop pattern recognition, a key component of Computational Thinking—the foundation for future coding skills.

By observing, analyzing, and replicating visual sequences, students strengthen their logical thinking and attention to detail in a playful, tactile way.

Perfect for math centers, STEM stations, or early coding lessons, this resource requires minimal prep and supports early learners in building critical thinking through engaging pattern play!
