Hi ,
Looking to add some easy, creative flair to your artwork? My Pattern Play Printable Cards are perfect for artists of all ages and abilities.
Inside, you’ll find 48 simple, repeatable patterns designed to bring any project to life. Because they’re asymmetrical, they’re naturally accessible — making it easy for everyone to jump in and play!
What’s really fun is how versatile these cards are. You can use them in three simple ways:
- Individual Cards: Use one pattern
at a time for focused inspiration.
- Vertical Strips: Cut the A4 page into 2 strips, each showing 3 patterns stacked vertically — great for quick reference or layering multiple patterns.
- Horizontal Strips: Cut into 3 strips with 2 patterns side-by-side — perfect for combining patterns as pairs.
Actually? There's even more ways to use
them:
- Some groups cope better with fewer choices — you can have painters pick their favourite pair or triplet of patterns to work with.
- Other projects work well with scattering all the cards around (sets of three are easier to manage), or letting painters shuffle through a set to pick the pattern that speaks to them in the moment.
- Another great option is to gather cards into themed rings — for example, I keep a ring of cluster marks ready to
grab for the Messy Playing stage.
