Trace and Write the Number 0 Worksheet for Preschoolers
This worksheet gives children ages 3-5 focused practice forming the number 0, building the fine motor control and pencil grip needed for handwriting while reinforcing that 0 represents 'none' or an empty group. Tracing the curved stroke repeatedly also helps children internalize the shape through muscle memory, which supports faster, more confident number writing later.

How to use this worksheet
Start by having your child trace the dotted number 0 with a finger to feel the curved motion before picking up a pencil. Then have them trace the printed 0s with a pencil, starting at the top and curving smoothly around. Next, ask them to write the number 0 independently in the blank spaces provided, using the traced examples as a guide. Finish by having them circle every 0 they can find on the page.
