Shape Counting Fun: Color and Count the Shapes Worksheet
Children ages 3-5 practice recognizing common shapes by sight, then apply early counting skills by tallying how many of each shape appear in the picture. Combining shape identification with counting strengthens both geometric awareness and number sense at the same time.
