Log Slice Rangoli Templates – Early Years / PS1
This versatile, nature-inspired resource is perfect for Early Years and PS1 learners, whether you’re in a classroom, home setting, or childminding environment. It’s designed to support creative, mathematical, and sensory learning through a playful, hands-on approach that links beautifully with the Welsh Curriculum.
You’ll receive five A4 printable pages, each featuring two log slice templates with different rangoli-style patterns. These open-ended templates can be used in a variety of ways — for pattern making, counting, sorting, fine motor work, or as part of themed play such as a pumpkin patch or autumn-inspired activity.
Children can decorate the log slices using natural loose parts, mark-making tools, or craft materials to explore symmetry, shape, and design. They work brilliantly in tuff trays, on nature tables, or in small group sessions, and can be reused across multiple learning topics and seasons.
This resource supports learning through play across multiple Areas of Learning and Experience, encouraging exploration, creativity, and mathematical thinking.
Links beautifully with AoLEs:
Mathematics & Numeracy
Health and Wellbeing
Language, Literacy & Communication
Expressive Arts
If you use this resource, I’d absolutely love to see it in action.
