Find and Count with Feelings

A scene full of happy, sad and surprised faces sets the task here: the child has to cross out the disgusted, count the angry, draw a box around the happy and circle the bored. Each job asks them to hunt the page for one kind of picture and act on it, so the eye learns to pick a target out of a crowded feelings scene. Spotting every disgusted to cross out, then moving to the next job, is exactly the look-carefully-and-keep-track skill this Kindergarten sheet is built to grow.

Picking out and counting one kind of picture from a crowd builds the careful eye and the one-to-one counting that early learning rests on. The jobs here — cross out the disgusted, count the angry, draw a box around the happy and circle the bored — make the child search the feelings scene repeatedly, each time for a new target, deciding what matches and keeping a tally. It is gentle, concrete work, but it is exactly the visual attention and number practice Kindergarten is meant to grow.

Children who like a busy feelings 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 farm animals, or Find and Count with fruits. You can also browse every Find and Count worksheet or the whole feelings 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.
