Paintbrush Resting on a Pile of Six Easter Eggs

A paintbrush lies diagonally across a cluster of six decorated Easter eggs, with its bristle tip pointing to the upper left. Each egg has its own pattern. One has polka dots, and another has dots above a band of vertical stripes. One egg shows a daisy-like flower with round petals, and another has curved stripes with petal shapes at its tip. Zigzag lines run across one egg, and the others have triangles, wedges, and wide bands. The lines are bold and the spaces vary from tiny to fairly large, so the page suits a range of ages. Try giving each egg its own color family, then use the paintbrush handle for a bright accent. Kids can also name the patterns they spot, like stripes, dots, zigzags, and flowers, which makes a nice quiet pattern-spotting activity. It's free to print for classroom or home use.
