Picture addition worksheets
The very first addition a child understands is counting real things. These free printable worksheets show two groups of themed pictures with a plus sign between them, so a preschooler adds by counting rather than by reading symbols they do not know yet.

The answer key prints on a separate page.
What's on this sheet
Each problem draws two small groups of the mascot's favorite picnic treasure — apples, fish, carrots — and the child counts them all to find the sum. Because the tokens are right there to touch and tally, addition stays concrete: three apples and two apples are five apples, not an abstract fact to memorize. Sums stay at ten or below so nothing on the page is too crowded to count.
Why this sheet works
This is a beginner sheet, so it stays short — a handful of problems is plenty of focused counting for a young child. No fact repeats on the page, so the practice stays varied.
How this one works
One question from a sheet like this one, worked a step at a time — with a sentence saying what just happened and why.
