Number formation worksheets - number tracing activity for preschool and kindergarten

These number tracing worksheets are a great way for your children to practice their number formation. There’s the numbers 1-10 included in the pack.

The larger numbers at the top give them a guide as to how they should form the numbers.

There’s then plenty of numbers to trace and space to have a go at writing them themselves.

There’s also crayons to color on each sheet for a bit more pencil practice and to help your little ones develop their number sense.

Tracing numbers can be a great way for children who are just starting to take their first steps down the writing path. It’s easy to forget, but it takes an awful lot of practice to be able to write the numbers freehand.

As these worksheets are guided, they give your little learners a chance to practice writing more independently. Building pencil control and hand strength alongside their growing confidence!

And if your little learners would also like to practice writing the letters, you can find letter tracing worksheets here.

What Skills Can Your Little Ones Learn And Develop?

Practice writing numbers with these preschool number worksheets

This number tracing printable is designed to help your children practice and develop their prewriting skills, such as:

Hand-eye coordination – to be able to understand what they are seeing and get their hands to go where they want them to go
Hand and finger strength – the ability to be able to apply enough pressure to make marks on the page and hold the pencil firmly
Hand dominance – developing and strengthening the skill of one of their hands
Number formation – understanding what the numbers look like and how to form them
Number sense – the ability to visualize numbers and understand relationships between numbers
Pencil control – holding the pencil correctly to allow for a fluid range of movement

Some of these are vital fine motor skills that will enable them to become great writers in the future!

RELATED Playdough can also be a great way to improve hand strength – you can check out an easy no cook recipe here!

That’s pretty much it for this one – just print them off, grab some pencils, pens or crayons and they’re good to go! Their goal is to trace over the numbers as carefully as possible, then practice writing them freehand and when they’re done, they can color in the pictures.

Gently encourage them if they find it a little tricky at first – learning all these new skills takes time!

If you want your children to be able to use these number tracing worksheets again and again, then laminating them and using a white board pen would be a great idea (whiteboard pens are also a little chunkier so can be easier for them to hold). Practice makes perfect!
