Number 2 Tracing Worksheets – Free Printables

In this surprisingly popular version, children engage in an activity that helps them attempt to remember the number’s form and shape. A model is presented on the top-right, and children must then try to find it within the balloons below. Each time they identify a balloon with the number, they must color it. This version is targeted for a Pre-K audience.

In this version, Pre-K students familiarize themselves with the number by coloring it in. By coloring the bubble, children increase their familiarity with the number, with the idea that the number’s shape and form will become more and more familiar to them over time.

I originally made this version for very young children, perhaps those practicing their first attempts at making strokes with a pencil. To that end, I made the letters very large, with the idea that they would follow the tracing lines and then color the bubble afterward. However, I’ve been told by several teachers that they use this as a poster on their walls.

In this version, I’ve provided a range of fun number activities, including tracing within the bubble number (which also contains stroke instructions to help children understand the most efficient way to form the stroeks), as well as writing the full word within large dot tracing letters, and coloring the number of balloons that correspond with our target number.

Stepping up the difficulty level, we move onto writing the number repeatedly within horizontal handwriting lines. These lines help children maintain form and structure. Children still have the dotted letters to trace, but once children have mastered this, move onto the more difficult versions later in this piece without the dotted letters to follow.

On this worksheet, children again get the chance to trace the numbers across the horizontal writing lines, but I’ve also added a color-the-ballons activity to help children demonstrate their understanding of what the number means in terms of counting and mathematical knowledge.

On this sheet, children practice both words and numbers. They alternate between practicing the word that represents the number, with a focus on correct spelling, then writing the number itself. You can encourage your child to color the bubble number on the top-right as well, once they’re done.

This version focuses on the word representing the number throughout. Children are provided with a model at the beginning of each line as well as dots they can trace over while practicing the word on repeat. Once your child has completed this version, I recommend the similar word-writing version lower down that doesn’t have the dot tracing, which will be the next level of difficulty up.

This sheet asks students to write the number repeatedly across six lines, but this time there are no dots for guidance. Instead, students must write the letter independently within the horizontal handwriting lines. A model is provided at the start of each line to help the child remember the form and shape.

On this page, students step up to independently writing the word that represents the number. The words are provided as a model at the beginning of each line, and children must use that model when practicing writing the words independently, with no faint dot letters to assist. You can also encourage your children to color the number and its balloon at the top-right once they have finished.
