Free Counting Worksheets 1-5 for Preschool – Count and Color – Number 3
This is one page from our free counting set for the numbers 1 to 5. Children count the pictures in each row and then colour in the same number of circles, which turns the answer into something they can see and check for themselves. Matching an amount to a number is the first real step in maths, and colouring the circles gives the hand something to do while the head does the counting. Say the numbers out loud together the first time, then let your child try the next row alone.
How to use this worksheet
- Print the page on A4 paper.
- Count the pictures in the row, touching each one as you go.
- Colour in the same number of circles as the pictures you counted.
Praise the effort rather than the neatness, especially at the beginning.
