Description
Twenty-seven themed packs carry little learners from the first week of school to the last days of summer, one train at a time. Children color, snip, glue, and say the order aloud, moving from two-picture repeats to longer units in every theme. Each sheet names its rule in a black code box, so four and five year olds always know what they are building. No prep for you: just print and go.

WHY TEACHERS LOVE IT
One routine for the whole year: children learn the sheet types once, and every month brings new pictures.
The blocks go from AB to AABB, easiest first, and every piece fits inside a train car.
The packs support Head Start ELOF goal P-MATH 7, Child understands simple patterns, and every teacher guide offers extra support and extra challenge ideas for inclusive classrooms.
Buying the bundle costs much less than buying each pack on its own.
