01

Number 1 Worksheet for Preschool: One Smiling Sun

Numbers · 15 minutes · Pre-K
Number 1 Worksheet for Preschool: One Smiling Sun worksheet preview

One smiling sun, a big 1 to trace and a row of dotted 1s for practice. In the ten frame, a child colors just one sun.

The 1 is the easiest numeral to write, which makes this the right page for learning how every sheet in the set works.

Worth talking through Stopping at one. Most three year olds want to color every sun, and holding back is the real counting lesson.
02

Number 2 Worksheet for Preschool: Two Ladybugs

Numbers · 15 minutes · Pre-K
Number 2 Worksheet for Preschool: Two Ladybugs worksheet preview

Two ladybugs to count, a big 2 to trace and two ladybugs to color out of ten.

The 2 finishes with a flat line along the bottom, and that last stroke is where most little hands wobble.

Worth pointing out The arrow along the base of the big 2. Tracing it slowly once is worth more than a whole row done in a rush.
03

Number 3 Worksheet for Preschool: Three Happy Flowers

Numbers · 15 minutes · Pre-K
Number 3 Worksheet for Preschool: Three Happy Flowers worksheet preview

Three happy flowers, a big 3 to trace and three flowers to color in the ten frame.

The 3 is one of the numerals children most often write backward. The arrows show where to start and which way the bumps face.

Use it when A child's 3s keep coming out reversed. The dotted row gives four more goes at getting it facing the right way.
04

Number 4 Worksheet for Preschool: Four Snails

Numbers · 15 minutes · Pre-K
Number 4 Worksheet for Preschool: Four Snails worksheet preview

Four snails in a square, a big 4 to trace and four snails to color out of ten.

The 4 is the first numeral in the set that needs two separate strokes, so the big model marks where each one starts.

Don't skip Lifting the pencil. It is new at this point, and the numbered dots are there to make it feel planned rather than like a mistake.
05

Number 5 Worksheet for Preschool: Five Butterflies

Numbers · 15 minutes · Pre-K
Number 5 Worksheet for Preschool: Five Butterflies worksheet preview

Five butterflies laid out like the dots on a die, a big 5 to trace and five butterflies to color.

The 5 is another two-stroke numeral, and the numbered dots on the model show where each part begins.

Why it works The die pattern. Seeing five as a shape rather than counting one by one is an early step toward recognizing amounts at a glance.
06

Number 6 Worksheet for Preschool: Six Carrots

Numbers · 15 minutes · Pre-K
Number 6 Worksheet for Preschool: Six Carrots worksheet preview

Six carrots in two rows of three, a big 6 to trace and six carrots to color out of ten.

The 6 is one smooth stroke, starting at the top and curling down into a loop.

Worth pointing out The four carrots left plain at the end. Counting what is left is a quiet check that six were colored, not five or seven.
07

Number 7 Worksheet for Preschool: Seven Strawberries

Numbers · 15 minutes · Pre-K
Number 7 Worksheet for Preschool: Seven Strawberries worksheet preview

Seven strawberries, a big 7 to trace and seven strawberries to color in the ten frame.

The 7 is all straight lines, across and then a long slant down, so it tends to go well.

Why it is here It comes straight after the curvy 6, and an easy numeral at this point is a welcome confidence boost.
08

Number 8 Worksheet for Preschool: Eight Mushrooms

Numbers · 15 minutes · Pre-K
Number 8 Worksheet for Preschool: Eight Mushrooms worksheet preview

Eight spotted mushrooms in two rows of four, a big 8 to trace and eight mushrooms to color out of ten.

The 8 is a loop the loop that crosses in the middle, and the arrows show which way to swing.

Use it when A child draws 8 as two circles stacked on top of each other. Tracing it as one continuous line is the habit this page builds.
09

Number 9 Worksheet for Preschool: Nine Raindrops

Numbers · 15 minutes · Pre-K
Number 9 Worksheet for Preschool: Nine Raindrops worksheet preview

Nine smiling raindrops in a three by three square, a big 9 to trace and nine raindrops to color.

The 9 starts with a small loop at the top and finishes with a line down.

Worth talking through The 6 and the 9. They are the same shape turned around, and putting the two pages side by side is a good way to see it.
10

Number 10 Worksheet for Preschool: Ten Fall Leaves

Numbers · 15 minutes · Pre-K
Number 10 Worksheet for Preschool: Ten Fall Leaves worksheet preview

Ten fall leaves, a big 10 to trace and every leaf in the ten frame to color.

Writing 10 is the first time a child puts two digits side by side, and the model shows the 1 goes first.

Why it ends the set Coloring all ten fills the whole frame, a satisfying way to finish counting from one to ten.

One more thing.

If your kids finish a unit and you're not sure what to do next, my honest advice: don't move on yet. Spend a week mixing these in as warm-ups. Fluency isn't a unit, it's a habit, and the sheet that builds it is usually the one they ask to do again.
