Writing Numbers to 10
Of course it is important that children learn to write the number symbols correctly, and we have plenty help with that at Activity Village.
First Steps
- Playdough letters. A good first step before children attempt to write numbers is to have a go at forming them out of playdough. Some children will take to this and it will help them remember the shape of the numbers. Others won't be very interested! Our most simple Number Playdough Mats are ideal. Find them below in our Resources section.
- Finger tracing. Encourage children to write numbers in a sand tray, copying them from some of our simple Number Cards - the Digit Tracing Cards are particularly useful for this. You could also write numbers in shaving foam - on the side of the bath, or in a plastic tray or container.
On Paper
- Finger tracing with worksheets. When children begin to get confident off paper, the next step is to try finger tracing numbers on paper, making sure that children start in the right place and write each number correctly. Many of our early printables provide dots and arrows to help with this. You will find a number of useful cards and worksheet sets in our resources below. Please note that worksheets appear alphabetically below so they don't necessarily appear in best-use order.
- Practice makes perfect! Print out a variety of the worksheets below to help your child learn to write the numbers 0 to 10.

Digit Tracing Cards
These digit tracing cards print 2-to-a-page and can be cut out - and laminated if you wish - quickly. Use them for finger tracing or for tracing with a dry wipe pen. You could use them alongside a sand tray so that children can copy the correct way of writing the numbers.
