Pattern Blocks

One of my favorite blogs to follow is Frugal Fun 4 Boys.   It is a great blog that provides me with fresh ideas regularly.  Plus, this mom has FOUR boys, so it is also a great encouragement.  So, the start of our latest project came from her latest inspiration. 




 Here, Emmett mocked up a design.
 Then, he traced and cut the same pieces out of construction paper and glued them in place.
 Here is another design he created.
This time he traced the pieces and colored them in.
 
He is using these art pieces as thank you notes for some recent gifts.
 
This can count as art, math, language (thank you notes)...and it teaches diligence and patience as well.
