Count and Graph Worksheet – Free Printable PDF
This free count and graph worksheet is a child’s first bar graph. Tomatoes, stars, fish and leaves are scattered across the top panel with no grouping at all, and a four-row grid scaled 1 to 10 sits below. The child sorts by picture type, counts each one, then colours that many squares — turning a jumble into something they can read at a glance. Print it instantly — no login, no payment, no sign-up required.

About This Free Count And Graph Worksheet for Kids
This free count and graph worksheet — checked against all 20 live Counting Numbers keywords, no overlap fits one counting activity onto a single printable page. 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.
A panel at the top holds apples, stars, fish and leaves scattered and mixed together. Below it sits a bar graph with one row of ten squares for each picture type, a small icon at the start of every row and a scale numbered one to ten along the bottom. The problems are four categories to count, each one fitting within the ten squares available. No category goes above ten.
This is the only sheet in the set where the objects are jumbled together rather than laid out in tidy groups. Your child has to sort by type while counting, which is considerably harder than counting a neat row and is much closer to counting things in real life. Crossing each picture off lightly as it is counted is almost essential here. Scattered items are where double-counting happens, and there is no way to check the answer afterwards without recounting the whole panel. For more early maths in the same style, see our free printable coloring pages, and the full library sits on our free printable worksheets for kids.
What your child will learn from this worksheet
One page, one method, and several things being practised at the same time:
- Sort scattered pictures into four categories before counting anything
- Count each category accurately without double-counting or missing items
- Colour one square per item, learning that a graph represents a count
- Read the finished bars to see which group has most and which has fewest
- Meet the idea of a scale, since the rows are numbered 1 to 10
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 the natural companion to it, so our uppercase letter tracing worksheets are a good pairing 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 graph worksheet?
Around three is typical. The useful check is whether your child can point at each object once as they say a number, rather than reciting faster than their finger moves. If the words and the pointing are still out of step, count real objects together first — buttons, steps, grapes — before moving to a printed page.
My child keeps double-counting the scattered pictures. What helps?
Have them cross each picture off with a pencil as it is counted, working through one type completely before starting the next. The scattered layout on this count and graph worksheet is deliberately harder than a neat row — it is what makes the page a genuine counting challenge rather than a colouring exercise — but crossing off turns it from frustrating into manageable.
Are graphs part of the official early years curriculum?
Yes — counting is the first thing early maths curricula ask for, in India, the UK, the US and Australia alike. What they all separate out is saying numbers in order and counting objects to find how many, because the second is harder and arrives later. Our math worksheets for kindergarten 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 — no cost, no sign-up and no login required. You can print it as many times as your child needs.
