Cutting with scissors is a real skill, and it does not happen overnight. A child needs to hold the scissors, open and close them, and move the paper with the other hand, all at the same time. Christmas gives you the perfect reason to practice, because every picture ends up as a card, a decoration or a little craft.

These sixteen free Christmas cutting practice worksheets are ordered like a ladder. Kids start with short snips, move to straight, zig-zag and curvy lines, then follow a path, cut out simple shapes, and finally cut out whole pictures. The last pages are cut-and-paste crafts. Every page is black and white with thin lines, so it prints light, and each one comes as a US Letter and an A4 PDF.

How to teach cutting, step by step

Snipping. One snip makes one cut. Start with the strips, so the child only has to open and close the scissors.
Straight lines. Cutting from one side of the paper to the other with a long, smooth cut.
Zig-zag and curvy lines. The child now has to turn the paper with the helping hand.
Shapes. Corners and curves together. Circles are the hardest, so don’t rush them.
Pictures and crafts. Cutting around a whole picture, then gluing it down.

Tip: Teach the “thumbs up” grip: thumb in the small hole, middle finger in the big hole, and the helping hand holding the paper with its thumb on top. Use child-size safety scissors, and print on regular paper first. Thin card is harder to cut.

What does cutting practice help with?

Cutting builds hand strength and the two-handed coordination needed for writing, and it trains the eyes to guide the hand along a line. It also teaches patience. Many kindergarten teachers say that children who cut well usually find pencil control easier too.

Thanksgiving week is busy, and a maze is one of the easiest ways to get a child sitting calmly with a pencil. Here you’ll find eleven mazes that start very gentle and slowly get harder, so the same page of links works for a 3 year old and for the big cousin who says mazes are too easy.

The first pages have wide, winding roads with no dead ends at all. The last ones are proper challenge mazes. In between there is a picture maze, a letter maze and a number maze. Everything is black and white with thin lines, so it prints light, and each page has a US Letter and an A4 PDF. There is also an answer key page.

Free Thanksgiving Maze Worksheets (PDF)

Easy paths with no dead ends (ages 3 to 4)

Help the Turkey Find the Corn
A wide, winding road with no dead ends. Perfect for a first maze.

Pumpkin to Pie Maze
Another wide path with no dead ends, this one ends at a pumpkin pie.

Acorn Trail Maze
A longer wide trail from an acorn to a leaf pile. Still no dead ends.

Picture maze: follow the turkeys

Follow the Turkeys Maze
Move from turkey to turkey, up, down, left or right, to get to the bottom.

Classic mazes, from easy to hard

Turkey Feather Maze
A small beginner maze with thick walls and a few dead ends.

Cornfield Maze
A medium maze through a cornfield, from the corn to the turkey.

Pumpkin Patch Maze
A bigger maze with more turns, from the pumpkin patch to the pie.

Cornucopia Maze
A tricky maze with lots of small dead ends.

Thanksgiving Dinner Maze
The challenge maze. Small cells and many dead ends, for older kids and families.

Letter maze and number maze

Letter Maze A to T
Follow the alphabet in order, A to T, moving up, down, left or right.

Number Maze 1 to 15
Follow the numbers in order, 1 to 15, through a grid of numbers.

Answer key

Thanksgiving Maze Answer Key
Solutions for every maze, with the way shown by a gray line.

Which maze should we start with?

Age 3 to 4: the three wide-path mazes. Let your child draw with a thick crayon, since the road is wide enough for it.
Age 4 to 5: Follow the Turkeys, Turkey Feather and Cornfield.
Age 5 to 7: Pumpkin Patch, Cornucopia, and the Letter and Number mazes.
Older kids and grown-ups: the Thanksgiving Dinner Maze is the challenge page.

Tip: Use a pencil, not a pen. Everyone hits a dead end in a maze, and the eraser makes it feel like a normal part of the game instead of a mistake. Some families also like to race: who gets the turkey to the plate first?

What do mazes help with?

Mazes train the small muscles of the hand and the eyes together, because the pencil has to stay inside the lines while the eyes look ahead. They also build planning: a child has to think “if I go this way, will I get stuck?” The letter and number mazes add ABC order and counting order on top of that.

Learning to write numbers is mostly about where you start and which way you go. A child who starts a 5 at the bottom will fight it for years. So on every page here, each number has a small dot where the pencil starts, and the numbers with two strokes (like 4) show tiny 1 and 2 badges so the order is clear.

The pages go step by step: trace, trace and count, trace and color, number words, and finally writing the numbers with nothing to follow. Everything is black and white with thin lines to save ink, and every page comes in US Letter and A4 PDF.

Free Number Tracing Worksheets 1 to 20 (PDF)

Trace the numbers (1 to 20)

Trace Numbers 1 to 5
A solid model number with a start dot, then four dashed numbers to trace on handwriting lines.

Trace Numbers 6 to 10
The same layout for 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, with a start dot on every number.

Trace Numbers 11 to 15
Two-digit numbers 11 to 15. Kids trace both digits and keep them the same height.

Trace Numbers 16 to 20
Numbers 16 to 20 to trace, five times each on handwriting lines.

Big numbers, counting and coloring

Big Number Tracing 1 to 10
One big number per box with start dots and tiny stroke-order numbers where a number has two strokes.

Count and Trace 1 to 10
Count the pictures in each row, trace the number, then write it in the box.

Trace and Color 1 to 5
Trace each number, then color exactly that many big pictures.

Trace and Color 6 to 10
Trace the number, then color that many pictures. Larger counts sit on two lines.

Number words

Number Words 1 to 10
Trace the words one to ten, then write each word on the line.

Number Words 11 to 20
Trace eleven to twenty, then write each word on the line.

Order, missing numbers and writing on your own

Trace Numbers in Order 1 to 20
All twenty numbers on one page, in order. A quick check of number recognition.

Missing Numbers 1 to 20
Eight number strips with empty boxes. Kids write the numbers that are missing.

Copy the Numbers 1 to 20
Look at the small number and write it alone on the lines. No dashes to follow.

Which page should my child start with?

Age 3 to 4: Big Number Tracing, Trace Numbers 1 to 5, then Trace and Color 1 to 5.
Age 4 to 5: Trace Numbers 6 to 10, Count and Trace, then Trace and Color 6 to 10.
Age 5 to 6: Numbers 11 to 20, Number Words, Missing Numbers and Copy the Numbers.

Tip: Say the path out loud while your child traces. For a 2 it might be “go up and around, slide down, then across.” A little rhyme helps the movement stick much faster than silent tracing.

Why does number formation matter?

Numbers written in the wrong direction are easy to fix at age four and hard to fix at age seven. The dashed numbers on each page train the hand, the model number with its start dot shows the right path, and the last pages, with no dashes at all, check whether your child can write the numbers from memory.

Christmas Dot to Dot Worksheets for Preschool & Kindergarten – Free PDFs

Most Christmas dot to dot pages give you one tree and call it a day. Here the pages grow with your child. A three year old starts with ten dots, a five year old can finish the gingerbread man, and a first grader can take on the snowflake. There are also two pages where the dots are letters, and one where they are numbers you count by 2s and 5s.

Every page is black and white with thin lines, so it uses very little ink, and the finished picture is meant to be colored. Each one comes in US Letter and A4 PDF. Print at 100% and you’re ready.

Each page also has a small Final picture box in the top-left corner, so your child can see what they are drawing before they start.

Christmas Star Dot to Dot
A five-point star with ten dots and a smiley face inside to color.

Christmas Tree Dot to Dot
A three-tier Christmas tree with fifteen dots and ornaments to color.

Present Dot to Dot

abc Gingerbread House Dot to Dot
Join the small letters a to z in order to draw a gingerbread house with a chimney.

Skip Counting Dot to Dot
Two pictures on one page: count by 2s from 2 to 20, then by 5s from 5 to 50.

Which page should my child start with?

Age 3: Start with the Star (10 dots), then the Tree. Help with the pencil grip and say each number out loud.
Age 4: Tree, Present, Candy Cane, Bell and Snowman (up to 20 dots).
Age 5 to 6: Stocking, Gingerbread Man, both ABC pages and Skip Counting.
Age 6 to 7: Wreath and Snowflake. These are long, so let them take breaks.

Tip: Ask your child to guess the picture before they join the dots. Guessing from the first few dots is a nice little thinking game, and it keeps them curious all the way to the last number.

What does a dot to dot teach?

It looks like a simple coloring game, but it quietly trains four things: counting in order, recognising numbers and letters, steady pencil control, and planning where the next line goes. The skip counting page adds early multiplication thinking, because counting by 2s and 5s is the base of times tables.

.opg{display:grid;grid-template-columns:1fr 1fr;gap:28px 24px;margin:24px 0} .opg-f{margin:0}.opg-f img{width:100%;height:auto;border:1px solid #ddd;border-radius:8px} .opg-f figcaption{font-size:15px;line-height:1.5;margin:8px 0} .opg-tip{background:#fff5e8;border-left:4px solid #f08a1c;padding:14px 18px;border-radius:6px;margin:20px 0} @media(max-width:600px){.opg{grid-template-columns:1fr}}

Most color worksheets ask a child to color a picture. That’s fun, but it only checks whether they can hold a crayon. These colors worksheets also ask them to read the color word, find things that are that color, sort and count them, and finish a pattern. So the child learns to see colors, read them and use them.

Where the color itself is the lesson (matching, circling, sorting), the pictures are printed in light pastel colors, and I kept the areas small and the lines thin so they use very little ink. The coloring pages stay black and white for your child to color in. Every page comes in US Letter and A4.

Free Colors Worksheets for Preschool and Kindergarten (PDF)

Learn the color words

Trace the Color Names
Eight color words to trace, each with a colored circle above it so kids see the color while they write the word.

Color the Picture
Read the color word, then color the picture that color: apple, sun, leaf, fish, pumpkin and grapes.

Match the Color Words
Six color words on the left, six pictures on the right. Draw a line to link each word to the picture in that color.

Find, color and code

Circle the Color
Each row asks for one color, and the pictures are printed in light color. Kids circle the two that match.

Color by Letter
A ten-by-ten grid. Each square has a letter: R red, B blue, Y yellow, G green. Colored in, it makes a surprise picture.

Color the Rainbow
A rainbow with the color word written on every stripe, and a row of paint dots to color too.

Sort, count and pattern

Sort and Count by Color
Eighteen colored pictures scattered on the page. Kids sort them by color in their head, then count how many are red, yellow, green and blue.

Color Patterns
Rows of colored circles marked R, B, Y and G. Kids copy the pattern into the empty circles with crayons.

Colors covered

Red, blue, yellow, green, orange, purple, pink and brown are on the name pages. The rainbow page uses red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, and the color-by-letter and pattern pages stay with the four basics (red, blue, yellow and green) so beginners are not overwhelmed.

Why use color words and not just colors?

A child who can name colors has done half the job. The other half is recognising the written word: “red” on a page is a first real reading success. That’s why most pages use the word and the picture together, and why the color-by-letter page uses a simple letter key (R, B, Y, G).

Tip: Let your child choose only the right crayon first, hold it up and say the color, and only then start. Naming it aloud takes five seconds and makes the colors stick.

Which page first?

Age 3: Color the Picture and Color the Rainbow. Say each color out loud.
Age 4: Trace the Color Names, Circle the Color and Match the Color Words.
Age 5 to 6: Color by Letter, Sort and Count by Color and Color Patterns.

A circle on a worksheet is just a circle. A circle on the kitchen wall is a clock. That’s the idea behind these shapes worksheets: kids learn the flat shapes on paper, then spot them in things they see every day, and even count their sides and corners.

Eight pages, from naming the basic shapes to a first look at geometry. Everything is black and white with thin lines, in both US Letter and A4.

Free Shapes Worksheets for Preschool and Kindergarten (PDF)

Learn the names: trace, color and count

Trace and Name the Shapes
Eight shapes, each with its name to trace on a handwriting line. Kids learn to say, see and write the word together.

Color by Shape
A color key at the top and thirty shapes below. Circles red, squares blue, triangles green, stars yellow.

Count the Shapes
Shapes scattered across the page, no neat rows. Count each kind and write the number.

Shapes in real life, and what makes a shape a shape

These two go a step further. One links shapes to a clock, a door and a slice of pizza. The other asks how many sides and corners each shape has.

Shapes Around Us
Match six shapes to everyday things: clock, window, pizza slice, door, egg and kite. Plenty of space to draw the lines.

Sides and Corners
Count the sides and corners of six shapes. It ends with the circle, which has neither.

Look closely: odd one out, dot to dot and find the shape

Which Shape Is Different?
Six rows of shapes with one that does not belong. Circle it.

Shape Dot to Dot
Numbered dots for a triangle, square, rectangle, pentagon, hexagon and star. The child draws every side.

Find the Shape
The first shape sits in a box on the left. Circle every shape in the row that matches it.

Which shapes are covered?

Circle, square, triangle, rectangle, oval, diamond, star and heart appear across the pages. The Sides and Corners page also adds the pentagon and hexagon for kids who are ready.

Talking about sides and corners

For a young child, a side is a straight edge and a corner is where two sides meet. A triangle has 3 of each, a square and a rectangle have 4 of each, a pentagon has 5 and a hexagon has 6. A circle has none, which surprises many kids. Run a finger along the edges while counting, and tap each corner as you go.

Tip: Go on a shape hunt around the house. Ask “what is round?”, “what is a rectangle?” and let your child point. Five minutes of that does more for shape names than a full worksheet.

Square or rectangle?

This is the one that confuses most kids. A square has four sides that are all the same length. A rectangle has two long sides and two short sides. Hold up a book and a napkin and compare them side by side.

Thanksgiving Tracing Worksheets – Free Printable Turkey Tracing PDFs for Preschool

Admin — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 05:20:47 +0000

.opg{display:grid;grid-template-columns:1fr 1fr;gap:28px 24px;margin:24px 0} .opg-f{margin:0}.opg-f img{width:100%;height:auto;border:1px solid #ddd;border-radius:8px} .opg-f figcaption{font-size:15px;line-height:1.5;margin:8px 0} .opg-tip{background:#fff4e6;border-left:4px solid #d9731a;padding:14px 18px;border-radius:6px;margin:20px 0} @media(max-width:600px){.opg{grid-template-columns:1fr}}

Before a child can write the letter “a” or “b”, the hand has to learn a handful of simple movements: straight lines, curves, circles and loops. These Thanksgiving tracing worksheets practise exactly those, using a turkey, corn, pumpkins, acorns and pie instead of plain lines. Your child follows the turkey across the page, and the practice happens without anyone calling it practice.

The set moves in small steps, from lines to patterns, shapes, pictures, words and finally a sentence. All pages are in US Letter and A4, in light dashed lines to save ink.

Free Thanksgiving Tracing Worksheets (PDF)

Step 1: Lines and patterns

Start here if your child is new to tracing or holds the pencil in a fist. These three pages build the basic strokes.

Straight Line Tracing
Four long lines from left to right, then six lines that go down and slant both ways. The turkey is the start, the corn is the finish.

Zigzag and Wavy Lines
Six paths from the turkey to a pie: zigzag, wave, steps, hills, loops and a bumpy line. Each one needs a different hand movement.

Pre-Writing Patterns
Rows of repeating strokes: straight lines, slants, circles, arches, waves and loops. These are the same strokes that later become letters.

Step 2: Shapes, pictures and the turkey

Closed shapes are harder than lines because the pencil has to come back to where it started. The big turkey page is a nice one to finish with crayons.

Shape Tracing
Six big shapes to trace: circle, square, triangle, rectangle, oval and diamond, each with a start dot.

Trace the Thanksgiving Pictures
Dashed outlines of a pumpkin, corn, acorn, apple, leaf and pie. Trace, then color.

Trace the Turkey
One big turkey, drawn in dashed lines, to trace and then color in. Big enough for a whole-hand grip.

Step 3: Words and a sentence

For kids who already know some capital letters. The words are the ones you’ll actually hear around the table.

Trace the Thanksgiving Words
Six words (THANKS, TURKEY, PIE, CORN, FEAST, FAMILY) with a solid model, two dashed copies and room to write the word again.

I Am Thankful For
Two short sentences to trace, then a big box to draw something your child is thankful for.

Why tracing before writing?

Writing a letter is really a chain of small strokes, and each stroke is one of the movements above. A child who can already do a smooth wave or a steady circle finds “s” and “o” much less frustrating. That’s why these pages go from easy to hard instead of jumping straight to letters.

Tip: Slip a page into a clear sleeve and use a dry-erase marker. The same sheet can be traced again and again, which is useful when a child wants to “do it better” the second time.

Which page should we start with?

Age 3: Straight Lines, then Zigzag and Wavy Lines. Use a chunky crayon.
Age 4: Pre-Writing Patterns, Shapes and Trace the Pictures.
Age 5 to 6: Trace the Words and I Am Thankful For.

Ways to use them on Thanksgiving week

Keep a few pages in a folder for kids’ table at the family dinner.
Use the turkey page as a quiet-time activity while the adults cook.
Read the “I Am Thankful For” page together afterwards and hang it on the fridge.

Alphabet Tracing Worksheets A to Z – Free Printable PDFs with Stroke Order

Most alphabet tracing sheets give a child a letter and a dashed outline, and that’s it. These alphabet tracing worksheets add the part that usually goes missing: where to start and which way to go. Every letter has small stroke numbers, so a child can see that capital E begins at the top, goes down, and then gets three lines added.

The letters are written on proper three-line handwriting guides (top line, dotted middle line, base line). It’s a small detail, but it’s what teaches a child that “b” is tall and “a” is short. All pages are in both US Letter and A4, in light grey to save ink.

Letter-by-letter pages: capital and small together

Each page covers three letters, with a capital row and a small-letter row for each. Start with the letters in your child’s name and then go in order.

Letters Aa Bb Cc
The first line shows the letter with its stroke numbers, then three dashed copies and two blank spaces to write alone. Each capital letter has its own set of lines, and so does each small letter (A, B, C).

Letters Dd Ee Ff
The first line shows the letter with its stroke numbers, then three dashed copies and two blank spaces to write alone. Each capital letter has its own set of lines, and so does each small letter (D, E, F).

Letters Gg Hh Ii
The first line shows the letter with its stroke numbers, then three dashed copies and two blank spaces to write alone. Each capital letter has its own set of lines, and so does each small letter (G, H, I).

Letters Jj Kk Ll
The first line shows the letter with its stroke numbers, then three dashed copies and two blank spaces to write alone. Each capital letter has its own set of lines, and so does each small letter (J, K, L).

Letters Mm Nn Oo
The first line shows the letter with its stroke numbers, then three dashed copies and two blank spaces to write alone. Each capital letter has its own set of lines, and so does each small letter (M, N, O).

Letters Pp Qq Rr
The first line shows the letter with its stroke numbers, then three dashed copies and two blank spaces to write alone. Each capital letter has its own set of lines, and so does each small letter (P, Q, R).

Letters Ss Tt Uu
The first line shows the letter with its stroke numbers, then three dashed copies and two blank spaces to write alone. Each capital letter has its own set of lines, and so does each small letter (S, T, U).

Letters Vv Ww Xx
The first line shows the letter with its stroke numbers, then three dashed copies and two blank spaces to write alone. Each capital letter has its own set of lines, and so does each small letter (V, W, X).

Letters Yy Zz
The first line shows the letter with its stroke numbers, then three dashed copies and two blank spaces to write alone. Each capital letter has its own set of lines, and so does each small letter (Y, Z).

Whole alphabet on one page

Once your child knows the strokes, these pages are good for a quick revision or a daily warm-up.

Trace the Uppercase Alphabet A to Z
All 26 capital letters on one page, each with numbered start points. Good for a quick warm-up or a full A to Z revision.

Trace the Lowercase Alphabet a to z
All 26 small letters on one page with start dots. The tall, short and tail letters (like b, a and g) are sized correctly.

Letter games to go with the tracing

Missing Letters in the Alphabet
Four rows of capitals and four rows of small letters, each with one or two gaps. Kids say the alphabet in order and write the missing letter.

Match Uppercase and Lowercase Letters
Ten capital letters on the left, ten small partners on the right in a mixed-up order. Kids draw a line to link each pair.

How the stroke numbers work

A solid letter with numbers is the model. A number in a small circle shows where a line begins, and the order of the numbers is the order of the lines. Letters with only one line (like C, O, S) have just a dot to show the start. On the dashed copies, a dot marks the start so your child can begin in the right place without checking the model every time.

Tip: Say the direction out loud as they trace: “down”, “across”, “round and up”. Kids who talk through the stroke tend to write more smoothly than kids who just copy the shape.

What the three handwriting lines mean

Top line: where capital letters and tall small letters (b, d, f, h, k, l, t) reach.
Dotted middle line: where short letters (a, c, e, m, n, o) stop.
Base line: where every letter sits. Letters like g, j, p, q and y drop a tail below it.

Letters kids mix up

Almost every child flips b and d, or p and q, at some point. It’s normal at this age. A trick that works: b starts with the line (a “bat”) and then the ball, d starts with the ball and then the line. On the b and d pages, say “line first” or “ball first” before each letter.

In what order should I teach the letters?

Alphabetical order is fine for the pages above, but if your child is just starting, begin with letters made from straight lines (L, T, I, H, E, F), move on to curves (C, O, S, U), then the diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y, Z, K) last. Diagonals are the hardest for small hands.

December is when counting practice gets easy to sell. A kid who groans at a plain number sheet will happily count candy canes. These Christmas counting worksheets use trees, gifts, snowmen, bells, stockings and stars, and each page asks for something a little different: writing, circling, matching, coloring, drawing, comparing, adding and filling in missing numbers.

Every page is black and white with thin lines, so it won’t eat your ink. Download the US Letter or A4 version, print at 100%, and you’re done.

Free Christmas Counting Worksheets (PDF)

1. Christmas Count and Write
Eight boxes, each with a small group of Christmas pictures. Kids count them and write the number in the answer box. Numbers run from 2 to 9.

2. Christmas Count and Circle
Count the group, then pick the right number from three choices. The choices sit one apart, so kids really have to count instead of guess.

3. Christmas Count and Match
Six groups on the left, six numerals on the right. Kids count, then draw a line across the page. Good pencil control practice too.

4. Christmas Count and Color
A big number on the left tells kids how many of the ten big pictures to color. Stops at the right number, which is harder than it sounds.

5. Which Group Has More?
Two groups side by side. Count both and circle the bigger one. A first step toward comparing numbers.

6. Count Both Groups
Count the first group, count the second, then write how many there are all together. Early addition without a single plus-sign lecture.

7. Christmas Ten Frames
Pictures fill a ten frame and kids write how many. Ten frames build the picture of 5 and 10 that later makes addition easy.

8. Christmas Count and Draw
The reverse of counting: kids see a number and draw that many pictures in the box. Simple shapes are fine. A star, a circle, a square.

9. Which Group Has Fewer?
The mirror of the “more” page. Kids count both groups and circle the smaller one. Many kids find “fewer” trickier than “more”.

10. Christmas Missing Numbers
Number strips from 1 to 10 with gaps to fill in. Builds number order and the habit of counting forward.

What’s in this set

Every page comes in both A4 and US Letter. Numbers stay between 1 and 10 because that’s where most preschoolers and kindergartners are still building confidence. The pictures are jumbled on purpose, not lined up in neat rows. Lined-up pictures are easy to count by pointing; scattered ones teach kids to keep track of what they’ve already counted.

Skills your child practises

One-to-one counting: touching each picture once, saying one number.
Number writing: forming digits in the answer boxes.
Comparing groups: more, fewer, or the same.
Ten frames and number order: seeing 5 and 10 as shapes, and counting forward.
Early addition: joining two small groups and finding the total.

Tip: Let your child cross out or tick each picture as they count it. It’s the quickest fix for the “I counted one twice” problem. For the coloring page, use only one or two crayons so the number of colored pictures is easy to check afterwards.

Which page first?

Start with Count and Circle if your child is still unsure, since the answer is right there in front of them. Count and Write, Count and Match and Ten Frames come next. Save the comparing pages, Count Both Groups and Missing Numbers for kids who already count to 10 without help.

Halloween Number Worksheets for Preschool & Kindergarten

Admin — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 09:14:21 +0000

Halloween number worksheets are a friendly way to practice the numbers kids need before they can do real math. Knowing what a 7 looks like, writing it the right way and knowing it comes after 6 are all separate skills. This set gives each one its own page.

There are six free printable pages for ages 3 to 7. Each one is a PDF in US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) and A4, so it prints on whichever paper you use.

Halloween Ten Frames Count and Write Worksheet

Halloween Dot to Dot Worksheet 1 to 12

What’s in the Set

Trace the numbers 1 to 10: a solid model, then two dashed numbers to trace along one line, with a dot where each stroke starts. The number word is printed underneath, so kids see “three” next to 3.
Trace the numbers 11 to 20: the same idea for the teen numbers, which are often the tricky ones.
Find and circle the number: look at the first number in the row and circle every match. Some rows include look-alikes, like 6 and 9 or 3 and 8.
Missing numbers: short number paths from 1 to 20 with one or two boxes to fill in.
Ten frames: count the pictures in the frame and write the number. Ten frames help kids see 5 and 10 at a glance, so they don’t have to count one by one every time.
Dot to dot: connect the dots from 1 to 12 and reveal a star, a moon, a witch hat and a ghost. Then connect the last dot back to number 1.

Why Number Skills Need Their Own Practice

Counting objects is one thing. Recognizing a numeral, writing it and putting numbers in order are others. Many US kindergarten standards, including Common Core, ask kids to write numbers from 0 to 20 by the end of the year, so there’s plenty to practice.

Reversed numbers are normal at this age, especially 2, 3, 5, 7 and 9. If you see a backwards 5, don’t worry. Go back to the solid model, trace it together and keep practice short. Most kids sort it out with time.

Tips for Using Them

Print at 100% (Actual size), not “Fit to page”, so the numbers keep their size.
Let kids trace with a finger first. Then try a crayon, then a pencil.
Say the number out loud while tracing. Seeing, saying and writing it all at once helps it stick.
Start with 1 to 10 and move to 11 to 20 only when those feel easy.
For ten frames, ask “how many more to make ten?” It’s an easy way to introduce early addition.
Slip a page into a clear sleeve and use a dry-erase marker to use it again and again.
Black and white is all you need, and the pages use very little ink.
