Count and Trace Number 3 Easter Worksheet

This Easter-themed worksheet gives preschool children clear practice with counting, number recognition, and number formation. Children count the three bunnies at the top of the page, trace the dotted number 3 several times, and trace the number word “three.” These steps connect quantity, numeral, and number word in one activity.

Tracing the large dotted 3 supports correct number formation and pencil control. Writing across the guideline helps children practice placing numbers and letters correctly.
Counting the bunnies reinforces one-to-one correspondence, which is an important early math skill. The repeated tracing format allows children to practice the same number multiple times without feeling rushed.
