I Spy Christmas Worksheet: Count and Write!

This worksheet strengthens counting accuracy and number writing in children ages 3-5 as they search a busy Christmas scene for specific items and record how many they find. The 'I Spy' search format adds a visual scanning challenge on top of basic counting, since children must first locate every instance of an item scattered across the picture before counting it.

How to use this worksheet

Look at the full picture together first and let your child describe what they see. Choose one Christmas item at a time — like ornaments or candy canes — and have your child point to and count every instance they can find in the scene, saying each number aloud. Help them write the total in the space provided once counting is complete. Repeat the process for each remaining item on the list.

Materials needed

  • Pencil
  • Crayons

Extension activities

  • Color the Christmas items in the picture after counting to make the completed page festive.
  • Create a simple addition problem by combining the totals of two different counted items.
  • Play a real 'I Spy' game around a decorated room or tree at home.
  • Have your child draw their own busy Christmas scene with a set number of hidden items for someone else to count.
  • Count actual ornaments while decorating a tree together, if your family has one.
