Find and Count with Dinosaurs

Look closely and keep track. This Kindergarten worksheet fills the page with a T. rex, a stegosaurus and a raptor and asks the child to count the allosaurus, circle the dimetrodon, draw a box around the diplodocus and cross out the styracosaurus. To finish, they scan the scene for each target in turn, find every one, and do the right thing with it. The first job — count the allosaurus — sets the pattern: search the whole dinosaurs scene, ignore what does not match, and act only on what does.

Marking and counting specific pictures in a full scene is how young children build focus and number sense at the same time. The list — count the allosaurus, circle the dimetrodon, draw a box around the diplodocus and cross out the styracosaurus — keeps the child searching, deciding, and tallying, one target at a time. Because the dinosaurs scene mixes many a T. rex, a stegosaurus and a raptor, the child cannot rush; they have to look carefully, which is the attention Kindergarten reading and counting both ask for.

Children who like a busy dinosaurs scene enjoy working down the jobs, and finishing each one — the marking, the crossing out, the counting — gives a clear win. When this feels easy, try Find and Count with easter, or Find and Count with farm animals. You can also browse every Find and Count worksheet or the whole dinosaurs collection for kindergarten — each sheet prints cleanly or plays online for free, and the more a child searches and counts, the sharper their eye for finding what matters becomes.
