Number Formation Rhymes
I’m excited to share with you my Number Formation Rhymes! I’ve been teaching my little ones how to write numbers and wanted some rhymes to help them remember the formations. I found these rhymes and decided to make my own posters for our school room. The catchy rhymes are a great way to help little ones learn how to write numbers.
Here are 10 ideas for using the number formation rhymes:
- Place pom poms on the numbers.

2. Put the rhyme in a plastic pocket and trace the numbers with a dry erase marker.

3. Fill the number with translucent colored chips.

4. Use a Do a Dot marker to make the number.

5. Drive toy cars on the numbers.

6. Make the number with cotton swabs and paint.

7. Fill in the number with counting bears.

8. Form play dough in the shape of the number.

9. Trace the number multiple times with crayons or colored pencils.

10. Use a stamp and your fingerprint to make the number.

There are lots of fun ways to use these rhymes! Of course you could also use them as posters, too.

The printable is also a digital resource! This means students can use the rhymes on either Google Slides or Seesaw. The digital resource includes the audio of the rhyme, too. Directions for how to get this is now included in the printable, which you can get by signing up below.

Happy learning!
Do you have a poster for the number rhymes to spell them? O-N_E only one me. T-W-O two legs help me go….I can’t seem to find the rest of the rhymes and I know I taught them to my daughter years ago.
I’m sorry, but I do not. They sound fun!
Hello….I love these number rhymes. They would be perfect for my Pre-K class. I can not download numbers 0-10. I was able to download numbers 11-19. Can you help me to download 0-10? I would really appreciate it!!!
Thank you. I am sorry…I fixed the post and now it should work. I will also email you.

I have signed-up twice with my email address and have received no email, yet.
I’m sorry! I will email you.
Love these! Wondering if you are going to make these counting in the 20’s?
Thank you! I haven’t made any for the 20s but I’ll see if I can come up with something!
Hi, I’m also receiving an error message when I try to request the 0-10 number formation rhymes. Would you mind sending it to me? Thanks a million!
I’m sorry. The error is fixed and it works now. Thanks for your patience!
What a fun way to learn! I can’t wait to use this in my class and with my grandchildren!
I’ve subscribed! Can’t wait to use numbers rhymes with my pre school kiddo while home this year!
Love this.
Thank you sooo much for sharing. This activity is amazing. My students love tracing them with little cars.
Thank you so much for the number rhymes. This is so much fun and my 4yo loves it. There are so many ways you can use them. I only wish there would be the option of the “other” number one (1).
Thank you again!
Thank you so much for these, they are perfect and are the same rhymes we use in school. I have subscribed and been sent the pdf of the number formation 1-10 but it absolutely won’t print. I can’t figure out why, have you ever had this problem before?
I’m sorry! This typically happens when you need to update Adobe Reader. Have you tried that?
I also put my email multiple times and haven’t received anything:(
I will manually send you the rhymes. Sometimes they get sent to spam or promotion folders. I’m sorry!
Hi, would it be possible to get a copy of the number rhymes pages1-20 please. We use 1-10 in the classroom and the children love them.
Yes! You can get them on this link: https://teachingmama.org/number-formation-rhymes-for-11-19/
How do you download page by page please?
Above this comment thread, you’ll find a spot to enter your email address. It will then be sent to your email address in a PDF format. Hope that helps!
Thanks so much for your reply. I did put my email multiple times and haven’t received anything:(
I have been trying to download the number formation rhymes for 0-10 and I never receive it in my email.
I’m sorry! I’ll send it to your email.
Hi guys
Ive tried downloading the seasons finds checklists as well the number rhymes with 1 number per page up to 20 so both formation sets but nothing has arrived in my email both inbox and junk box. Ive received the $9 bundle for letters shapes and colours but not the free printables ive asked for. Could you send them to me please? Thank you
oh I’m so sorry! YES! I’ll email them now!
Hi! Love your page!! I subscribed an was able to get the numbers 11-19, but cannot find any link to download or purchase 1-10. Could you direct me? Thank you!!
Yay! Thank you!! I will email you. I’m sorry about that issue. It is fixed now!
What a great resource for the early years
Is it possible to download these rhymes?
Yep! Just put your email address in the box and it will be sent to you.
Love your site ! My husband and I both signed up for your newsletter!
Hi! Is it possible to get a version of 1-10 that is editable? I do a couple of the rhymes differently, but love the format of your paper and would love to pass it out to my parents. If not, totally understandable. Thanks!
Send me an email and I can chat with you about the file. I don’t have an editable PDF, but if you have PowerPoint and the same fonts, I can send you the file. Send me an email at [email protected]
Can you remind me which laminator you recommend?
Also,I am not able to find a search option on your page. Am I missing it?
I’m sorry! I use the Scotch Thermal Laminator. Here’s a good one: https://amzn.to/2ttWFPg (affiliate link)
These are so cute!! Do you happen have an editable version? My campus told all teachers which wording to use and I’m having a hard time finding any that match exactly. If you don’t have an editable version, could you edit them for me?! 🙏🏻
Hey there! Email me at [email protected] with what you’d like and I can make it for you. 🙂
Thank you teachingmama.org for the free number printables. I am excited to use it in class next week. God bless you more!

Thank you for creating this wonderful site!

Very good for 3 year olds
I learned these almost 60 years ago – in grade one – before it was common to go to preschool.
Fun to see they are still around.
They are slightly different from what I remember…..
These are great, Thanks!
These will be helpful
Hello..have signed up for your newsletters.
Will it take a few days to rcv email/link?
No it is sent right away. I will send you an email.
hello Angela…I love the big numbers it the dotted lines for kids to trace with fingers, or make with playdough, and your clip art is cute…but I was wondering if you might have a version that is editable so that we might be able to change just the rhyme part…My district uses slightly different wording for our number formations, and I am hopeful that I might still be able to have cute, yet consistent, practice for my Kindergarten kiddos 🙂
Hi
I’ve signed up for your email, and clicked on the confirm link… and like many others, i cannot find a link to download these fab number formation rhymes.
A welcome email that explains where to find the printables should have been sent to your email address. I will email you with the link. Sorry for the confusion!
i have signed up for newsletter, and received email. it sends me to the page for printables and give me password, but i can not find a place to enter password. please advise
The spot for the password is a box at the top of the page. I haven’t heard of someone not being able to see that section, so maybe try a different browser if you can’t find it. You can email me with more questions if you can’t find it. [email protected]
Love your number formations rhymes and would like to use them for my kiddos! Can you please email the link? THANK YOU!!!!

Thanks!
Hi Jonna! Yes, a link with the subscriber freebie should have been sent to you right away. Check your spam or junk folder, in case it went there. If you can’t find it, let me know!
Very clever – my favourite is number 8. My daughter’s issue is usually 2’s & 3’s as she sometimes begins writing them in the wrong direction.
Melanie @ Tree Valley Academy recently posted…Learning Kid Link-Up #12
Yes! That is a very common way for little ones to begin writing numbers!! (My boys have done that, too!)
Thanks so much for sharing! These rhymes are so creative and fun for little ones. A great way to help them remember how to form and write their numbers!
You are welcome! So glad these can help you out!
