Instructions
1. To prepare, trace the different shapes of blocks on one half of each sentence
strip to make a pattern, such as square/circle/square/circle and so on.
2. Color the outlines the same color as the real blocks and laminate them.
3. Place the shape patterns and shape blocks in a container in the Construction Zone.
The children pick a pattern and replicate it by putting real blocks across the
sentence strip.
