Pattern Block Designs



Kailyn has been exploring the new magnetic pattern blocks, and has been making different animals. On this day, she began with the grey diamonds, and built around them. "I make a bird," Kailyn said, "with his feathers spread down."

"Kailyn, what shapes are you using to make your bird?" her teacher asked.
"I'm making feather shapes. Its like a feather or a diamond," Kailyn explained.
 Kailyn's artistic talents were stretched in a new direction with this new medium, and she used her strong representational skills to create new forms out of the shapes.
