Preparing the Worksheets

To get started, gather the materials you’ll need to prepare the activity pages. I suggest the following:

• printer
• paper
• scissors
• glue
• pencil
• crayons

Now that you have all of your supplies, let’s get started with the prep work.

First, scroll all the way to the bottom of this post. Enter your email address to request the file. Save it to your computer, and then print the pages you need for your students.

You can laminate some of the pages if you’d like to make them reusable. If you don’t have a laminator, you can slip the pages into a dry-erase pocket. Then, children can complete these pages with a dry-erase or wet-erase marker.

That’s it! Now, you’re ready to use these worksheets with your preschoolers.

Grab a Copy of the Book

This book is one I consider a must-have for preschool parents and teachers. Children love the flow of this circular story – one that starts and ends in the same spot.

If you can’t get your hands on this story, you can also show your kids a read-aloud video version before completing the activities in this pack of free preschool printables.

If You Give a Mouse a Cookie Counting Activities

Whether your preschooler is learning to count to ten or just need a little additional practice to solidify their counting skills, this collection of counting activities goes perfectly with If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.

Subitizing Practice

There are two pages in this printable designed to help preschoolers and kindergarteners practice subitizing to six.

On one page, they’ll roll one dice and color the mouse holding the same number. On the other, they’ll use the color code to color a picture of Mouse and his cookie.

Color, Count, Cut, and Paste

There are two cut and paste pages included in this page. In addition to working on counting and number recognition to ten, kids can strengthen motor skills when they cut out the numbers. Glueing them in the correct box will also help develop their hand-eye coordination.

Count and Write

This pack contains three count and write pages. On one page, children will read the instructions in each box and color the set accordingly.

On the second page, children will identify the number on the bottom of the cookie jar and fill the jar with that many cookies.

Finally, children will count the objects in each set and write the number on the line.

My Cookie Counting Book

This mini-book is perfect for helping little ones practice number recognition, counting, and tracing numbers to ten.

Each page is formatted the same. Kids will count the cookies on each page, identify the number, and then trace it on the lines.
