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.

Why Use Number Rhymes
These number rhymes are awesome for teaching students how to write numbers. Each number has a catchy poem to help children remember how to write the number.
Rhymes are great for teaching preschoolers because they’re catchy, memorable, and help with language development. They make learning fun and engaging and they also help kids with phonemic awareness, which is crucial for early reading skills. Rhymes are also an easy way for children to remember and repeat, which reinforces their learning.
10 Ideas for Using the Rhymes
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.

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. 🙂
