Save in the Piggy Bank, Count the Coins

Ask the simple question for each picture: could we live without it? Talk about wants kindly, since everyone has them. Use real coins for the piggy bank page, and count them into a jar together.

Six needs and wants pages for ages 3-5, each with an answer key. Children cut and glue six pictures into needs and wants, circle the things we need, and circle the need in each pair of pictures. They also match clothes to the weather and to bedtime, match kinds of homes to their shadows, and count the pennies by each piggy bank.

Yes, both. We made it for Preschool wants and needs, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with needs and wants. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

6 printable worksheets, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for preschool children, roughly ages 3-5. Start with the first few pages, use the free preview to judge the fit, and come back to harder ones as your child gets steadier.

No. Most pages ask children to circle, trace, match, color, or cut and paste, and a few ask for a single number. A grown-up can read the instructions aloud, so children do not need to read yet.
