Smiling Number 3 With Three Happy Stars

A big, bubbly number 3 takes up most of the page, drawn with smooth rounded curves and a thick, easy-to-follow outline. The number has a face with two large round eyes, little shine spots in the pupils, raised eyebrows, and an open smiling mouth. Along the right side, three small stars float in a stack, each with two dot eyes and a tiny curved smile. The stars get slightly smaller as they go down the page. The wide open shapes are great for little hands using chunky crayons or markers. Try coloring the number in one bright color, then count the stars out loud together and color each one a different shade to connect the number 3 with three objects. This free printable also works well as a quick counting warm-up for preschool or kindergarten.
