Level 4 - Color and Create Your Own Pattern Building Activity

Level 4 - Color Your Own Pattern Building Activity – a favorite that we are happy to share with you, especially designed to develop attention to detail through symmetry and mirror imaging.

Children love to play and learn the best through their own explorations. Our activities cater to the anthroposophical approach to learning, nurturing the child holistically, through intellectual, artistic, and practical skills. The learning theories of Montessori education are an integral part of these activities, supporting the child’s sensorial development from concrete experiences toward an abstract understanding. It is through their own discoveries and Aha! moments, supported by the inbuilt self correction that these games support a deeper learning. We hope that you will value the experience of this activity, and feel inspired to continue to explore our other games and activities.

Have students enjoy making their own game, and have fun playing it too. Educational coloring activities to develop concentration, creativity, focus, mathematical thinking, visual discrimination, flexibility, special perception, symmetry, and fine motor skills. Choose to do it either as a whole group activity or individually.

This is also an excellent activity for children with concentration difficulties. Over five years of research has shown great improvement in children working regularly with our games and activities. Feel free to contact us to know more about our research: aurogames-kalvi@auroville.org.in
