From heart beats to tree leaves, children notice patterns and rhythms in daily life. When they draw what they observe, kids develop sorting and classifying skills.
1.
Find a pattern that appeals to you: Listen to a friend's heart, the rain, or the beat of a drum in rock or Native American music. Ask an adult if you can make your own rhythm by banging on empty pots and pans. Look at a necklace with beads, or notice a bridge you built with blocks. How might you show this pattern on paper?
