About This Free Count And Paste The Number Worksheet
Everything on this free count and paste the number worksheet sits on one page, with one kind of problem repeated. A name and date line runs across the top, a coloured title band names the activity, and one line of instructions sits beneath it. At Kidzolearn, every worksheet is 100% free to download and print — no login, no subscription, no payment required.
Five rows of sweets — candies, lollipops, chocolate pieces, doughnuts and cupcakes — each with an empty box, and five numbered cards along the bottom to cut and paste. The number cards are 13, 7, 4, 2 and 8. The doughnut row holds thirteen.
This is the first sheet in the set to go past ten, and thirteen doughnuts is a lot to count in two rows without losing your place. It is a real step up from the vehicle sheet, which stayed within nine. For the doughnut row, count the top line and the bottom line separately and add them rather than counting straight through. Seven and six is much easier to hold than thirteen counted in one go.

What your child will learn from this worksheet
Short as the sheet is, it works on more than adding alone:
- Count each row of sweet treat pictures accurately, numbers 1–13
- Match a counted quantity to the correct printed numeral
- Practise cutting and pasting (or writing) the number in the right box
- Strengthen fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination
- Build confidence connecting counting with number recognition
These are the first maths objectives set in Nursery, LKG, UKG, Reception and Year 1. Counting is where number work begins and writing the numerals is its natural companion, so our tracing lines worksheets for preschool pair well alongside this sheet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Kidzolearn worksheets really free?
Yes! Every worksheet on Kidzolearn is 100% free — no subscription, no login and no payment required at any time. Simply click the download button, save the PDF and print it instantly at home or in the classroom.
At what age should children start using this count and paste the number worksheet?
Most children are ready from around age three, as soon as they can say the number words in order and point at objects one at a time. Those two things are separate: reciting one, two, three is not the same as counting three things. This count and paste the number worksheet is where the words and the pointing start to join up, and a child whose finger moves slower than their voice is at exactly the right stage for it.
How does this worksheet help children learn to count?
Count And Paste The Number Worksheet gives children five rows of sweet treat pictures to count, plus a set of number cards to choose from. Counting each row, selecting the matching numeral and pasting it into the correct box builds counting accuracy, number matching and confident independent number recognition — the three core skills behind strong early counting.
Is counting practice part of the official early years curriculum?
Yes, and it comes first. Counting and cardinality is the opening Kindergarten domain in US standards, which ask children to count in order and to count objects to say how many there are. The UK Early Learning Goal for number requires counting small sets accurately, and Indian Nursery and LKG syllabi begin in the same place. Everything else in early maths sits on top of it, which is why our uppercase letter tracing worksheets build on the same counting once it is secure.
Can I use these worksheet at home?
Absolutely! This worksheet is completely free to download and print at home. All you need is a printer and a pencil (or scissors and glue for cut-and-paste activities) — no cost, no sign-up and no login required. You can print it as many times as your child needs.
