Patterns patterns patterns

Patterns come easily to all of my children and I am grateful.  They actually enjoy figuring out and creating patterns when I set pattern activities up for them. 

Unfortunately, Alex is working on patterns in math and it is too easy for him. He is getting in trouble with the substitute teacher because he doesn't want to do the busy work.  In order to make it a little more interesting, I pulled out the stamper markers.  He was able to create his patterns faster and with cute little shapes.
