These number formation cards are a great way for your children to practice writing the numbers. There’s the numbers 1-10 included in the pack.
The cards are guided with numbered steps, dotted lines and arrows to follow to show them how to correctly form the numbers.
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 number formation cards 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 once they can confidently trace these number cards, why not give them some of these number tracing worksheets and see if they can write them independently as well?
Or you can discover some more fun tracing activities here.
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?

- 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 recognition – knowing what the different numbers look like
- Pencil control – holding the pencil correctly to allow for a fluid range of movement
