Shapes, colours and Numbers up to 9. These worksheets are here to help you introduce your child to the concepts of shapes, colours and numbers. Start by writing their name on the worksheet. If they cannot do this, write it for them, making sure you use a capital at the beginning and the rest of their name in lower case letters. They can then trace over their name or copy it underneath. They then trace round the outline of the shape or number with a felt tip pen. Colour in the worksheet with a wax crayon. Make sure you praise the child and display the worksheet.
