Simple set up but great math practice with this simple LEGO Dr Seuss Patterning math activity. You only need a few supplies to get started!

SEUSS SET UP

To get started with this Dr Seuss patterning math activity, start a pattern in each row for your kids to complete using red and white bricks on a blue base plate. We tried to stick to the specific colors of the Cat’s hat.

We have been working on AB, ABB, AAB, AAAB, AABB and all of those combinations of pattern choices.

This activity is a terrific way to play and learn combining math with LEGO! It really makes patterning fun. Plus LEGO is amazing for learning math concepts. There are so many hands on benefits to LEGO play

This LEGO Dr Seuss patterning math activity is a quick and easy way to pass the afternoon. Why not encourage your kids to build The Cat In The Hat towers too. Build his hat with LEGO!

You can build the patterns vertically or horizontally. In fact you don’t even need a baseplate as you can just snap them together! If you build your pattern vertically, can you measure the height when you are finished?

There are many fun ways to extend this activity for play and learning. I also love this building and patterning idea for hands-on learning!
