Early Years Maths Worksheets: Printable Counting, Numbers, Shapes & Patterns Pack

8 worksheets · Kindy-Year 1

The Early Years Maths Pack is a set of 8 printable maths worksheets for little learners in preschool, kindy, Prep / Foundation and Year 1, roughly ages 3 to 7. You get real early-numeracy practice (counting, number recognition, tracing numbers, shapes, patterns, comparing groups and simple addition) set on soft hand-painted watercolour borders, so it feels calmer and lovelier than the usual clip-art worksheet. Instant PDF download in A4 and US Letter, with full-colour and ink-saver editions both included.

Instant digital download. You buy on Etsy or Gumroad, not on this site. Print at home, forever.

Who it’s for

Made for parents, homeschoolers, teachers and early-years educators with children roughly aged 3 to 7 (preschool, kindy, Prep / Foundation and Year 1). It suits a busy classroom, a relief or casual day, a quiet home-learning morning, daycare, or a little extra counting practice at the kitchen table, and because every sheet is numeral-based with no letters, it works whatever handwriting style your school uses.

How it works

This is an instant digital download, no physical item is shipped. You receive print-ready PDFs in both A4 and US Letter, in a full-colour watercolour edition and a clean ink-saver edition, so you can print as many copies as you like at home or in the classroom, forever.
