When my oldest was in Kindergarten, I drew some Thanksgiving Mats for Pattern Blocks for him by hand. And while they served their purpose, I have been working to update them for my preschooler and Kindergartner this year. And now, I also get to share them with you!
PLUS, you’ll find a link to an extra freebie that works with any mat for Pattern Blocks!

Thanksgiving Mats for Pattern Blocks
In these FREE Thanksgiving Mats, you’ll find 5 different mats both in color and black/white and can be used with the plastic pattern blocks or wooden pattern blocks. Both my kiddos enjoyed working them over and over. {The free download can be found at the end of this post.}
I printed them off onto card stock paper and did not laminate them. I have found that laminating them or even slipping them into a plastic sleeve protector makes them a little harder to work because the surface is slippery, causing the pattern blocks to move out of place too easily.
Learning Extensions with Pattern Blocks
Giant Pattern Blocks
After my Kindergartner had worked a few mats, I challenged him to build the same pictures with our Giant Magnetic Pattern Blocks. He LOVES to play with these and did such a great job transferring the small block image to the larger one.
These magnetic blocks are SO cool and are a great extension piece for the home or in the classroom.
As a way to extend these Thanksgiving Pattern Block Mats, be sure to check out our Pattern Block Graph & Tally Pack!
