When we think of printable activities that help with fine motor skills (the skills needed to hold a pencil correctly), we often think of crafts or coloring pages with rainbows and other cute designs.

Those are excellent options, but did you know tracing worksheets can be equally awesome?

Tracing by number worksheets are perfect for preschoolers and kindergarteners because they help with number recognition and fine motor control.

Below you will find 171 of these to use for homeschooling or for extra practice at home.

There are worksheets are practicing numbers individually if you are focusing on introducing one number at the time. If you’re looking for number sets like 1-10 or 1-20, there are some of those as well.

Tracing by number 1-5

Let’s dive into our first batch of number tracing worksheets. These printables are all about the numbers 1 through 5.

The first one is a full page practice sheet that also includes space for kids to practice writing the number by themselves after they’ve traced it 5x.

The next one is a little more fun than a traditional writing page. Instead of lines, there are boxes, which can be fun to add into the mix so they don’t get bored.

Number tracing 0-10 and 1-10

Next, we have some practice pages that include the numbers 0 through 10 and 1 through 10.

Some people like to include the zero, while others prefer to start with one. So, that’s why you have options for both.

There are a few different variations of the 1-10 sheets. A couple of them also include number words.

Fun number tracing worksheets for preschoolers

If your child is in pre-k, the full-page sheets may seem a little intimidating at first. These are great starter pages because they focus on one number at the time and there aren’t as many on the page.

Plus, the stars and bold circles just make the activity seem a little more exciting.

These start at zero and go up to ten.

Tips for using these number tracing worksheets

  • Start small. Depending on your child’s age, you may want to start with just one or two sheets at first and slowly build up the amount of time they spend practicing their numbers.
  • Make it a game. Turn tracing into a fun game or challenge. You could time them and encourage them to “race” the clock or introduce small rewards for completed sheets (maybe a sticker chart?).
  • Use vibrant colors. Bright, colorful markers or crayons can make tracing more visually appealing and fun. Let your child choose their favorite colors to use.
  • Laminate to save on ink and paper. You may want to consider laminating the sheets. Self-laminating sheets make this very easy to do and you can use them over and over again without having to print multiple times.
  • Repetition is key. The more your child practices tracing numbers and writing them out, the easier it’ll become for them.
  • Encourage them! A little encouragement goes a long way.
