Pom-Pom Counting Path

This worksheet supports early learners as they build fine motor strength, number recognition, and sequencing skills through a hands-on counting activity. Using tweezers, students place pom-poms onto numbered circles from 1 to 6, following a dotted path that guides movement from one number to the next. The structured path encourages careful tracking, steady hand control, and step-by-step thinking.

Learning Goals

• Fine Motor Tweezer Skills (Early Childhood)
  Students strengthen pincer grasp and hand steadiness by picking up and placing pom-poms with precision.
• Counting & Number Recognition
  Learners identify, name, and count numbers in order from 1 to 6.
• Visual Tracking & Directional Awareness
  Following the dotted path supports left-to-right and sequential movement across the page.
• Executive Function & Sequencing
  Students practice following steps in order and completing a task from start to finish.

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Resource
  Designed to align with preschool and kindergarten fine motor and early math standards.
• Hands-On, Multisensory Practice
  Combines movement, visual cues, and number learning for strong engagement.
• Encourages Slow, Controlled Movement
  Tweezers promote accuracy, patience, and writing readiness.
• Flexible Classroom Use
  Ideal for math centers, morning tubs, occupational therapy support, small groups, or homeschool activities.

This printable worksheet blends fine motor development with early numeracy in a playful, purposeful way. By following the counting path and placing pom-poms in sequence, students build hand strength, number confidence, and tracking skills-supporting a strong foundation for future math and writing tasks.
