Numbers & Counting worksheets for 3 year olds

17 numbers & counting worksheets pitched at 3 year olds, free to print with no account and no watermark. Most are straightforward, with one that steps up for a child who is ready for more.

Counting, numeral recognition and number formation from 1 to 20.

They assume a child who copies vertical, horizontal and circular strokes, which is typical at three. If that is not there yet, the age 2 sheets are the better place to start.

Sheets in this set include Count and Match: 1 to 5, Trace Numbers 1 to 5 and Count the Ladybug's Spots. Each is one page on A4, laid out with margins wide enough that nothing is lost printing on US Letter.

Five to ten minutes at a time is plenty at this age, and going outside the lines is the expected outcome rather than a mistake. Print in grayscale to save ink, or slide the sheet into a sheet protector and hand over a dry-erase marker so the same page lasts a month.

  • •Copies vertical, horizontal and circular strokes
  • •Counts objects up to five with one-to-one pointing
  • •Sorts confidently by a single attribute like color
