Count and Write: Fun Counting Worksheet for Preschoolers

This counting worksheet has children ages 3-5 count small groups of objects and write the matching numeral in a box, directly linking the physical act of counting to the written symbol that represents a quantity. Writing the number immediately after counting — rather than just counting aloud — reinforces that numerals are a shorthand for real, countable amounts.

Once they reach the total, have them write that number in the box provided. Repeat the process for each remaining group on the page, checking that the written numeral matches the counted amount each time.
