Repurposed for Learning - Ice Cube Tray Patterns

I have used an ice cube tray for several different patterning activities. This was one we did during our apple theme.

I used poker chips (dollar section at Target) as "apples" and placed them on a felt tree that I had cut out.

I also repurposed paint samples as pattern rule cards (see very bottom of picture) to help E complete the pattern on his own. He followed the cards saying "1 yellow, 1 red, 1 green....start over...1 yellow, 1 red, 1 green".

I played with him completing the side of the tray closest to me so that he could check his answers as well as see me modeling how to use the rule cards.
