Pattern block mats

Cover the picture with pattern blocks

Make pattern block mats. Each mat is a picture made only of pattern block shapes: hexagons, trapezoids, diamonds, triangles and squares. Your child covers each shape with the matching block until the picture is full. Print one mat or all six.

How to make your worksheet

  1. Choose a mat, or all six.
  2. Print it at full size, so the shapes match real blocks.
  3. Put the blocks on the shapes. Count them at the end.

Shapes and space

Matching a block to its outline means turning it until it fits. That is the same skill children use later to put shapes together and take them apart.

Good questions

Do the shapes match real pattern blocks?

They are drawn to the shapes of standard pattern blocks. Print at full size, with no shrinking to fit, for the best match.

Can I print in black and white?

Yes. Choose “Black and white” under “Print in”. The page uses very little ink.

Is it free?

Yes, with no sign-up and no limit.
