They are to cut out the bowling pins that the elephant is preparing to juggle. If they finish cutting early, they can use a green crayon to color the three white pins. Explain that the elephant sets up his bowling pins the same way each time he juggles. Guide children to glue a black pin, a black pin, and a white pin. Then have them repeat and glue the pattern one more time.
Children are to complete the last three spaces of the pattern on their own.
Return children's attention to the cutouts sheet. Have the children use a red crayon to color the four spotted dogs. Tell children they are going to create their own pattern of dogs along the ramp on the circus page. Point out that not all the dogs will be used. After children have completed the worksheet, you may wish to use another Circus Time activity sheet without the cutouts and have children create their own patterns by just coloring in the dotted areas.
