These Pattern Crowns are a gorgeous craftivity that your students will love creating and wearing to show off their new pattern making skills. These crowns could even make a fun assessment tool at the completion of your pattern unit!
There is a King/Queen option of the crown for you to select from. Print onto A4 paper for students to decorate and complete their own pattern. Have students refer to the Pattern Core Display posters and select a core pattern to create on their crown. They could use colours, shapes, drawings – whatever they like.
