Patterns made of sticks and stones
Have fun creating
My friend and I played with sticks and stones and he came up with part of the alphabet. I guess maybe that’s a stretch – to call these patterns…
But then we fooled around with it a little and made these out of those…
Now, those are patterns.
After play, of course, there’s always a snack, so this…
Became this…
The mind of a child – or two 😉

Dear Bliary 
You’re never stymied for original thought! I like this so much, Gem 🙂
Where did I see a ‘fruit animal’ today? Can’t remember, but it was fierce!
Enjoy your weekend!
Thanks, Jo. It came to me in a dream. Kidding. But this kid inspires me.
What a great learning experience for little guy.
Are you kidding?!?!?! He’s teaching me! LOL

Love the haiku. 5-7-5 pattern. The alphabet can be a pattern with or without the kaleidoscope effects. Cool, both ways. Plus my dentist is hoping everybody eats lots and lots of those red candies, every single day!
Yeah. Now all of a sudden of the Queen (or maybe just the Princess) of haiku!
Ya gotta love those apps, Gen.
Nice photos of patterns, Fabulous.
Thank you, bente.

People who love kaleidescopes (like me) are bound to love this blog post!
😉
Way cool shots…definitely out of the box thinking. Love it. Thanks Gemma.
You’re welcome, Cee. Fer sher! 😉
how cute and very inventive!
He’s a trip! Someday I’ll write a book of quotes. Hysterical!!!
kids are so funny… how many times did I say I should have written down silly quotes they have said. I’ve had a class full of them 😉
I’ve started recording them. A little late. I’ve missed (and forgotten) quite a few, but he’s always spewing out new material. 😉
That is great… maybe test some out on us bloggers 🙂
When I’ve accumulated a few more, I might.
Looking forward to it 🙂

A kaleidoscope of colour and patterns – perfect for Cee’s theme, Gemma 🙂
😉
I had to improvise.
Gorgeous little guy, and I love the patterns you made together. What fun you both have. 🙂
He is such fun to care for and so very bright.
Thanks, ad.
Modern hieroglyphs in a kaleidoscope Gemma … and a tasty snack made to last longer .. only just … Lovely post …
I remember you saying a while back you felt didn’t really ‘get’ haiku … ah but you do Gemma you do 🙂
I’m working on it. I think mine are less cerebral and more – well – fun for me.
Thanks, poppy. You’re always kind.
The teacher in me looks at the first photo and thinks that it is a fantastic way to practise the alphabet 🙂
Sticks, stones, pipe cleaners, play dough, wiki sticks. The ideas, as you know, are endless. My friend made an alphabet book. One letter per page using buttons to make a B, rice to make an R. You get the idea. So cute. That’s the fun I miss, but I get a little of it with little guy and his brother.
Hat is exactly what I am doing with my class at the moment. Each page the alphabet is created with a different texture.
😉
I like the pictures here, Gem – in particular, the one at top left, a great portrait; and the one above “The mind of a child – or two ” – good stuff! ATP xxx
Ok. Child at heart. 😉
Thanks, A. I always value your comments.
