Preschool Counting Worksheets - Preschool Mom - Free Printable

Let's solve the problem in this image step by step.

Task: Counting Up to 10

This is a counting activity for young children, likely preschoolers. The goal is to count how many of each type of object (frog, butterfly, flower, and duck with an umbrella) are in the picture and then fill in the corresponding number in the grid below.

---

Step 1: Identify the Objects

There are four types of objects shown on the left side of the grid:

1. Frog 🐸
2. Butterfly 🦋
3. Flower 🌸
4. Duck with an umbrella 🦆☔

We need to count how many of each appear in the main picture.

Step 2: Count Each Object

#### Frogs (🐸):
Look at the picture:
- There are small frogs and one large frog.
- Let's count:
- Top row: 1 small frog
- Middle: 1 large frog
- Below that: 1 small frog
- Bottom left: 1 small frog
- Near the center: 1 small frog
- Right side: 1 small frog
- Total frogs = 6

✔ Frogs: 6

---

#### Butterflies (🦋):
Count all butterflies:
- Top left: 1
- Top right: 1
- Middle: 1 big butterfly
- Below that: 1 small butterfly
- Bottom left: 1
- Bottom middle: 1
- Bottom right: 1
- Also near top right: 1 more
- Wait — let’s go carefully.

List them:
1. Top left corner
2. Top center
3. Top right
4. Middle left
5. Middle right
6. Bottom left
7. Bottom center
8. Bottom right
9. One near the top right (small)
10. Another near the top right?

Wait — let’s recount clearly:

Looking closely:
- Top row: 2 butterflies (top left and top right)
- Middle: 1 big butterfly
- Then several small ones scattered:
- Below the first flower
- Below the second flower
- Below the third flower
- Near the bottom
- And one near the top right next to the duck?

Actually, let’s list them one by one:

1. Top left corner
2. Top center-right (next to small frog)
3. Top right (near duck)
4. Middle-left (below flower)
5. Middle-right (between flowers)
6. Bottom-left (large one)
7. Bottom-center (small)
8. Bottom-right (small)
9. One near the top right (above the duck)

Wait — perhaps it's better to count visually:

From the image:
- Butterflies:
- Top left
- Top center
- Top right
- Middle left
- Middle right
- Bottom left
- Bottom center
- Bottom right
- One near the top right (by the duck)
- One near the top center (by the small frog)

Wait — actually, I see 8 butterflies.

Let’s go systematically:

- Row 1 (top): 2 butterflies (left and right)
- Row 2: 1 butterfly (center)
- Row 3: 1 butterfly (left), 1 (right)
- Row 4: 1 butterfly (left), 1 (center), 1 (right)
- Row 5: 1 butterfly (bottom right)

Wait — no, the layout is not in rows.

Better way: scan the whole image.

Here are the butterflies:

1. Top left
2. Top center (small)
3. Top right (small)
4. Middle-left (below flower)
5. Middle-center (big butterfly)
6. Middle-right (small)
7. Bottom-left (big)
8. Bottom-center (small)
9. Bottom-right (small)
10. One near the top right, above the duck? Yes, there’s one.

Wait — let me count again.

Careful visual inspection:

- Top left: 1
- Top center: 1
- Top right: 1
- Middle left: 1
- Middle center: 1 (big one)
- Middle right: 1
- Bottom left: 1 (big)
- Bottom center: 1
- Bottom right: 1
- And one near the top right corner? No — only three at the top.

Wait — actually, there are 8 butterflies.

Let me double-check:

1. Top left
2. Top center
3. Top right
4. Middle left (under flower)
5. Middle center (large)
6. Middle right (under flower)
7. Bottom left (large)
8. Bottom center (small)
9. Bottom right (small)

That’s 9?

No — wait, the one near the bottom center might be under a flower.

Let’s count:

- Top row: 3 butterflies (left, center, right)
- Middle row: 1 butterfly (center)
- Bottom row: 3 butterflies (left, center, right)
- But also one near the top right corner? No.

Wait — actually:

- Top left: 1
- Top center: 1
- Top right: 1
- Middle left: 1
- Middle center: 1
- Middle right: 1
- Bottom left: 1
- Bottom center: 1
- Bottom right: 1

That’s 9 butterflies.

Wait — but the big one in the center is separate.

Yes — total butterflies: 9

But let’s look again.

Actually, upon close inspection:

- Top left: 1
- Top center: 1
- Top right: 1
- Middle left: 1
- Middle center: 1 (big)
- Middle right: 1
- Bottom left: 1
- Bottom center: 1
- Bottom right: 1

Yes — 9 butterflies

✔ Butterflies: 9

#### Flowers (🌸):

Count the flowers:
- Left side: 1
- Center: 1
- Right side: 1
- Bottom center: 1
- Top center: 1

Wait — let’s see:

- Top left: 1 flower
- Top center: 1 flower
- Top right: 1 flower
- Middle left: 1 flower
- Middle right: 1 flower
- Bottom center: 1 flower

Wait — no, the flowers are:

1. Top left
2. Top center
3. Top right
4. Middle left
5. Middle right
6. Bottom center

So 6 flowers

✔ Flowers: 6

---

#### Ducks with Umbrellas (🦆☔):

These are the ducks holding umbrellas.

- Top right: 1
- Middle right: 1
- Bottom right: 1

So 3 ducks

✔ Ducks: 3

Final Counts:

| Object | Count |
|-------|-------|
| Frog | 6 |
| Butterfly | 9 |
| Flower | 6 |
| Duck with umbrella | 3 |

Step 3: Fill in the Grid

The grid has columns labeled 1 to 10.

On the left side of the grid, we have symbols:

- Frog
- Butterfly
- Flower
- Duck

For each, we mark the number of boxes equal to the count.

So:

- Frog: Fill in 6 boxes (columns 1–6)
- Butterfly: Fill in 9 boxes (columns 1–9)
- Flower: Fill in 6 boxes (columns 1–6)
- Duck: Fill in 3 boxes (columns 1–3)

---

✔ Final Answer:

- Frogs: 6
- Butterflies: 9
- Flowers: 6
- Ducks with umbrellas: 3

Then shade or mark the corresponding number of boxes in the grid for each.

📝 How to Complete the Worksheet:

1. In the frog row, color or mark 6 squares (from 1 to 6).
2. In the butterfly row, mark 9 squares (1 to 9).
3. In the flower row, mark 6 squares (1 to 6).
4. In the duck row, mark 3 squares (1 to 3).

This helps children practice counting and number recognition up to 10.
