One of the easiest worksheets that you could make to help emphasize number recognition and counting is a dots worksheet. These are very easy to make, you can knock off like 5 of them in 10 minutes and I'm going to show you a very enlarged version here so you can see it. But of course you can make yours much smaller even for a young child because they're dots and you can fit more on a page than I have. However, you might want to start this big. Make sure you make each dot clear. If you're going to go quickly and just poke dots, make sure you make them a little bit dark. Or you can use little circles if you'd like. Basically the child just points with their pencil and counts as they point and then they write the number in in pencil. So it's very easy. Again, it's emphasizing how numbers can make shapes, how dots help different objects, but in different positions can make shapes and basically it's fun. That's it.
