Learning numbers can be a splash when it’s done with sea animals! 🌊 In this engaging preschool worksheet, little learners are invited to count the sea creatures and match them with the correct number. This activity is perfect for children aged 3 to 4 and supports early numeracy, visual recognition, and fine motor skills through coloring.
🐚 What’s the Activity?
Children are shown a variety of colorful sea animals — from fish and turtles to starfish and shells. Their task? Count the sea animals in each box and color the number that matches the correct amount. For example:
- 🐟 The second box has 6 sea animals, so the child would color the number 6.
- 🐢 The last box has 1 turtle, so they’d color 1.
It’s a simple and enjoyable way for kids to practice:
- Counting up to 6
- Number recognition
- Observation and matching skills
🌟 Why This Activity Works
