Definitely a triple rail fence pattern if you're talking a quilt project. It's nearly an immediate gratification because once the strips are sewn in sets of three, the blocks are done....all you have to do is cut them.
It also teaches these young ones left and right brain activity, from choosing colors to rotating the blocks and matching colors to lay out the top. That's the hardest part of the whole thing and the best for their sweet, curious little brains!
Here is my graphic for a triple rail fence idea. It uses three color families and three rails, but you could do it with two color families and three rails as well.
