Kindergarten pattern mats

I wanted a change to the usual pattern project so I incoporated line and shape and pattern to it.  They got four strips each that they had to  cut in two with a line, either straight, curve, zigzag and wavy.  They then created an oil pated pattern on each of the eight strips.  Then they glued them onto a 12x18 colored paper.  After that they tied yarn (yes they all did it somehow after I showed a few different ways).  They came out pretty good.
