Number 8 Worksheet: Trace, Count, and Color Butterflies!

How to use this worksheet

Begin by tracing the number 8, guiding your child's pencil through its two connected loops while counting aloud from one to eight. Move to the butterfly section, where your child counts out exactly eight butterflies and colors each one as they count, touching each butterfly to keep an accurate tally. Finally, give your child a blank space and ask them to draw any eight objects they like, encouraging them to count aloud as they draw each one to confirm the total.
