Color and Count

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a coloring and counting activity that features fairytale-themed images such as unicorns, rainbows, and hearts. Children are instructed to color these images and then count the number of each type. After coloring and counting, they are to record the totals using tally marks in the boxes provided at the bottom of the page. The images are arranged in a grid pattern, with each row containing a different type of image for the children to interact with.

The worksheet is designed to teach children how to identify and count items, as well as how to record numbers using tally marks. By incorporating coloring as part of the task, it also encourages creativity and fine motor skills development. The act of tallying aids in the understanding of grouping in fives, which is a foundational concept for early arithmetic. Furthermore, this activity helps in enhancing the children’s ability to focus and pay attention to detail as they differentiate between the various images and tally their counts accurately.
