Benefits of Count and Color Worksheets
Count and color worksheets are super quick to set up and easy for kids to understand. This provides meaningful practice without it feeling too much like “work.” Here are a few benefits they offer:
- Number recognition
- Counting of groups and objects
- Fine motor practice
- Following directions
- Seasonal vocabulary and theme awareness.
How to Use the Worksheet
On the left hand side of the page kids will see a number between 1 and 5. First, have the children trace the number. On the right hand side of the page they will see groups of Thanksgiving themed pictures such as turkeys, pie slices and corn.
The goal is to color in however many pictures as the indicated by the number to the left.
Make it Reusable
If you would like to use this activity multiple times throughout the season you can first print it out on cardstock. Next laminate it or slide it into a dry erase pocket. Now you can use dry erase markers so kids can complete it again and again.
This is especially great for classroom use or if multiple kids at home.

Favorite Supplies:
These are a few of my favorite supplies that I use and LOVE!
- White Cardstock: For most projects, I recommend printing onto cardstock. It is much more durable than standard printer paper and often produces a higher quality print.
- Crayons: A staple in any crafting household. Crayola is always the top notch choice!
- Kid Friendly Safety Scissors: These are perfect for little kids learning how to use scissors. They cut paper but not fingers or hair!
- Glue Sticks: These disappearing purple glue sticks are by far my favorite! I love buying them in bulk since we use them so often!
- Lamination Machine: Laminating printables are a great way to make them last longer. If you are planning on laminating to make games reusable, be sure to get a bunch of dry erase markers as well.
- Dry Erase Pockets: Dry erase pockets are a great alternative to using a lamination machine when wanting to make printable games and activities reusable.
- Printer: A high quality printer is always recommended for the best results. If you are in need of a printer this Brother Wireless Printer is a great choice.
