Ordinal Numbers Coloring Worksheet for Preschoolers

How to use this worksheet

Look at the ordinal number written on the left side of each row and say it out loud together, like 'third.' Count along the row of pictures to find the one in that exact position. Have your child color only the picture that matches the ordinal number shown. Continue through each row, double-checking together that the correct position was colored.
