How to use this worksheet
Look at the first group of pictures together and count them aloud, then look at the second group and count those too. Depending on whether the problem shows a plus or minus sign, help your child figure out whether they should combine the two groups or take one away from the other. Have them work out the answer, using their fingers or the pictures themselves to check, and then write the number inside the tombstone shape. Continue through each remaining problem on the page the same way.

Human Skeleton Cut and Join Worksheet for Preschoolers
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
This hands-on worksheet introduces children ages 4-6 to basic human anatomy as they cut out individual bone shapes, like the skull, ribs, arms, and legs, and assemble them into a complete skeleton. Beyond scissor control, the activity requires spatial reasoning, since children must figure out where each bone belongs relative to the others to build an accurate body shape.
Apple Sorting Worksheet: Color and Size Fun!
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
This sorting worksheet has children ages 4-6 classify a set of cut-out apples by two different attributes, color and size, simultaneously, which builds more advanced categorization skills than sorting by a single trait alone. Deciding which basket an apple belongs in based on two criteria at once also strengthens early logical reasoning.
I Spy Halloween Worksheet: Count and Write!
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
This 'I Spy' worksheet has children ages 4-6 scan a busy Halloween scene to count how many of each specific object appear, then write the total as a numeral, combining visual search skills with number-writing practice. Because several object types are mixed together in one picture, children must also stay organized and avoid recounting the same object twice.
Spooky Fun: Complete the Halloween Sketches Worksheet
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This worksheet has children ages 3-5 complete partially drawn Halloween sketches by tracing or extending existing lines, building visual perception and fine motor control as they figure out what shape a sketch is meant to become. Coloring the completed pictures afterward adds a creative finishing step that rewards the careful tracing work.
Spider Web Connect-the-Dots Worksheet for Preschoolers
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This connect-the-dots worksheet has children ages 3-5 count in sequence from one number to the next while drawing curved lines, building both number-order recognition and the pencil control needed for pre-writing curves and loops. Revealing a spider web at the end gives the counting practice a satisfying, visual payoff that keeps young children motivated through the whole sequence.
Halloween Match: Find and Color the Identical Objects!
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This visual discrimination worksheet asks children ages 3-5 to scan a row of similar-looking Halloween objects and identify the two that are truly identical, sharpening their attention to small details like size, shading, and shape. Coloring the matched pair afterward gives a satisfying finishing step while reinforcing which items they correctly identified.

Counting the boxes in each answer also builds an intuitive sense of word length before formal spelling instruction begins.

Mickey Mouse Number Sequence Worksheet: Paste the Missing Numbers!
Ages 4-5 · Pre-KAges 4-5 · ReceptionAges 4-5 · LKGAges 4-5
This cut-and-paste worksheet uses a Mickey Mouse theme to give children ages 4-5 practice recognizing and completing number sequences by identifying missing numbers within numbered frames and pasting them into place. Because the missing numbers appear in the middle of a sequence rather than only at the end, children must think about both the number before and after a gap, a more demanding skill than simple 'what comes next' counting. The familiar character theme adds motivation to a task that is fundamentally about numerical reasoning.
Number Names Matching Worksheet for Preschoolers
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This matching worksheet builds early number-word literacy for children ages 3-5 by asking them to connect each numeral with its written name. Learning that '5' and 'five' refer to the same quantity strengthens number sense and lays groundwork for reading math vocabulary later in school. The side-by-side layout also sharpens visual scanning and one-to-one matching skills.
Navratri Laddoo Maths: Add, Take Away and Share
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
Children add two picture groups, take away by crossing out, share laddoos equally between plates and find the missing part of number bonds that make 9.
Calm Maze and Seek: Help Ava Find the Calm Corner
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
Children solve a maze for Ava, who has a big, grumpy feeling, and find a calm corner. They then search a picture and count teddies, cushions, books and glasses.
Diwali Diya Counting, Flame Drawing and Tracing Worksheet
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
Children count groups of up to six lit diyas and write the number, then draw the matching number of flames above each lamp. They finish by tracing the dotted outline of a diya with a steady pencil.
Before and After Numbers Worksheet for Preschoolers
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
This number sequencing worksheet asks children ages 4-6 to identify the numbers that come immediately before and after a given number, strengthening their mental number line and reinforcing the concept that numbers exist in a fixed, ordered sequence. This before-and-after reasoning is more demanding than simple counting because it requires children to move both forward and backward from a starting point. Building this flexible number sense supports later addition and subtraction, which both rely on moving confidently along a mental number line.
Dandiya Dash: Navratri Board Game for Kids
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
Children count dots on a dice, count on along a number track to 30, take turns and follow simple game rules.
Addition House Worksheet for Preschoolers
Ages 4-5 · Pre-KAges 4-5 · ReceptionAges 4-5 · LKGAges 4-5
This hands-on craft turns simple addition into a reusable game, as children ages 4-5 build a paper house with numbered windows and a door that can be changed with tape or number stripes. Physically swapping numbers to create new addition problems (like 2 windows + 1 door) helps children grasp that addition means combining separate groups into one total, rather than just memorizing facts.
