Learning to write numbers becomes easy when children trace them again and again. This set of free printable number tracing worksheets takes your child from 1 to 10 with big, friendly dotted numbers, arrows that show where to start, and simple counting pictures on every row.

There are three A4 pages. The first two give plenty of tracing practice, and the third asks your child to count objects and write the number on their own. Perfect for preschool and kindergarten children at home or in class. Just download, print and hand over a pencil or crayon.

How to play

Download the PDF and print all three pages on A4 paper. Printing one page per day works well for little hands.
Ask your child to say the number aloud, then trace the dotted number from the dot, following the arrow.
Let them count the pictures in each row and colour them while counting one by one.
On the last page, cover the dotted numbers and let your child write 1 to 10 without help.

While tracing, your child builds pencil grip, hand control and the correct stroke order for numerals 1 to 10 — the same movements needed later for neat handwriting. Counting the pictures in each row links the written symbol with a real quantity, which is the foundation of number sense. Saying the numbers aloud strengthens number names and sequence. Children also practise working left to right across a line, a habit that helps with reading. Keep sessions short and cheerful, about ten minutes, and praise effort rather than perfect shapes. Repeat the pages a few times over a week for steady, confident progress.

Frequently asked questions

What age are these number tracing worksheets best for?

They suit children aged about 3 to 6 years. Younger preschoolers can trace with a chunky crayon and simply colour the pictures, while kindergarten children can trace neatly and then write the numbers on their own on page three.

Are these printable worksheets really free?

Yes. All worksheets on Kids Learning App are free to download, print and use at home or in your classroom. No sign-up is needed. Teachers are welcome to print copies for every child in the group.

How can I reuse the pages without printing again?

Slip a printed page into a clear plastic sleeve or laminate it. Your child can trace with a dry-erase marker and wipe it clean, so the same sheet can be used many times over several weeks.

My child holds the pencil awkwardly. Should I worry?

Pencil grip develops slowly during the preschool years. Offer short, fun sessions and try thick crayons or short pencil stubs, which naturally encourage a three-finger hold. Tracing big shapes and numbers regularly helps the muscles grow stronger.

What should we practise after numbers 1 to 10?

Move on to counting objects up to twenty, matching numbers to groups, and simple addition with pictures. You can also try our alphabet tracing and shape worksheets to keep writing practice varied and interesting.
