Learning to count is an important early math skill for preschool and kindergarten children. This free Count and Circle the Numbers 11–15 worksheet gives children ages 4–5 a fun way to practice counting groups of animals and identifying the correct number.
Children count each group of animals and circle the correct number from three choices. The worksheet uses colorful lions, monkeys, butterflies, cats, and dogs to make number practice more engaging for young learners.
🦁 Count the Animals and Circle the Correct Number
This printable worksheet includes five counting activities:
- 🦁 Lions: Count 15 lions and circle 15

The answer choices are intentionally mixed up, encouraging children to count the animals carefully instead of simply guessing.
✏️ How to Use This Counting Worksheet
Give your child a pencil or crayon and begin with the first group of animals.
Ask your child to count each animal one at a time. After counting, have them look at the three numbers and circle the number that matches the total.
For example:
How many lions are there?
Have your child count all the lions and then choose the correct number from 15, 11, and 13.
Continue with the monkeys, butterflies, cats, and dogs.
If your child finds a number difficult, count the animals together while pointing to each one.
