Back to School Count & Color 1–10 | Bilingual Preschool Number Pages

Make counting practice feel festive with Back to School Count & Color 1–10. Every page shows a large bubble numeral, the matching number word in English and in Spanish, a hand showing the number in sign language, and a set of apples, smiling worms and other back-to-school pictures for little learners to count and color. It is a simple, cheerful way to bring numbers into your back to school, all about school or apple theme.

Children point to each picture as they count, check that their total matches the big numeral, and then color the set. That routine builds counting to 10, number recognition, one-to-one correspondence and early number vocabulary in two languages. The sign language hand adds a movement cue, so children can show each number with their fingers while they say it. Coloring inside the open shapes also strengthens the fine motor control young hands need for writing.

The pictures are bold and uncluttered, so pages stay easy to follow for toddlers, preschoolers and English or Spanish language learners alike.

Where these pages fit:

• Back to School theme units and centers

• Preschool math small groups and morning work

• Dual-language and ESL classrooms

• Early finisher bins, tutoring and homeschool math

• Fun practice during the first weeks of school

To differentiate, count together with younger children and let them color freely. Older learners can trace the numeral, write it on the back, or draw one more picture to show "one more." Laminate a set for a reusable dry-erase center, or staple all ten pages into a take-home counting book.
