How to use this printable
Print the PDF on US Letter or A4 paper. Give your child a pencil or crayons. Show them the first row on page 1. Ask them to count the pictures in each box. They should write the number in the blank space. Then they can color the pictures. Repeat for all six rows on page 1, then turn to page 2 for six more rows. Use page 3 as an answer key to check their work if needed.
This printable helps your child practice counting from 1 to 5. They learn to recognize numbers and write them. Coloring builds fine motor skills. The activity is simple and focused, so your child can work at their own pace. You can sit with them and count aloud together if they need help.
Teaching tips
- To make it easier, count the pictures together and point to each one as you say the number. Let your child trace the number with their finger before writing it.
- To make it harder, ask your child to count the pictures without pointing, or to say the number before writing it. You can also time them for fun.
- To reuse the page, place it in a plastic sleeve and have your child use a dry erase marker. Wipe clean and use again.
