Thanksgiving Counting Worksheets (Free Printables)

Thanksgiving counting worksheets are a fun way to sneak math into the holiday season.

When my son was first learning numbers, he always focused better if the practice felt playful, especially with themed pages like these.

With turkeys, pumpkins, and other festive images to color and count, kids can work on number recognition and early math skills without it feeling like another lesson.

These Thanksgiving worksheets are designed for preschool and kindergarten, making them just right for keeping little learners engaged in November.

Free Counting Worksheets for Thanksgiving

These Thanksgiving counting worksheets are a simple way to mix holiday fun with early math practice.

The set includes three printable pages that use the same festive images, turkeys, pumpkins, owls, a bear with pie, a cat in a pilgrim hat, and a pair of Thanksgiving bears.

Children start by coloring the pictures, which adds creativity and keeps them engaged. Then they count how many of each image they find, practicing number recognition in a hands-on way.

The worksheets build gradually:

• Page 1: Count from 1–6
• Page 2: Count from 6–10
• Page 3: Review 1–10

Designed with preschool and kindergarten in mind, these printables also strengthen fine motor skills as kids color and write.

Whether you’re homeschooling or teaching in the classroom, they make early math feel playful and stress-free.

If your child enjoys these, you might also like our favorite kindergarten math board games for even more practice through play.

Why These Worksheets Work

Thanksgiving math worksheets do more than practice numbers.

Kids stay engaged because the turkeys and pumpkins feel playful, not like drill work.

Coloring the images also strengthens fine motor skills, giving little hands extra practice holding pencils and crayons while they count.
