  Our FREE Christmas: Colour & Count Sheets are incredibly versatile and can be used in a multitude of ways across various early years and KS1 environments:

  • Focused Counting Activity: Provide a sheet and encourage children to colour the objects one by one while counting them out loud. Remind them to use their finger to touch each object as they count, reinforcing one-to-one correspondence.

  • Number Recognition & Writing: After counting and colouring, have children find the correct number and practice writing it inside the number outline on the sheet.

  • Fine Motor Skills Development: The act of carefully colouring the objects helps to strengthen hand muscles, improve pencil grip, and enhance hand-eye coordination.

  • Vocabulary Building: Use the activity as a chance to talk about the different Christmas objects on the sheets, expanding children's vocabulary.
