The exact number is never mentioned. When Ralph asks Piggy the same question Piggy replies, "they stayed for a minute or two after you left to climb the mountain and then they all drifted off to play or to go into the jungle and I couldn't count them all."
The littluns Henry, Percival and Johnny were building castles and making elaborate markings in the sand on the beach near the beginning of chapter 4: Painted Faces and Long Hair.
Theyre hopless, and the older ones arent much better.

Desribing the littluns in chapter 4: Painted Faces and Long Hair Golding wrote, and I quote directly from the book... 'They obeyed the summons of the conch, partly because Ralph blew it, and he was big enough to be a link with the adult world...' So you could say that the littluns obeyed Ralph, to some degree.
In Chapter 3, the older boys start referring to the younger boys as "littluns". Frank. Vegas ftw :) In Chapter 3, the older boys start referring to the younger boys as "littluns". Frank. Vegas ftw :)
The littluns' are the younger boys aged around six years old or so, some a little older. They laugh at Ralph because they think he is funny and they are laughing at the way that he is talking in Lord of the Flies.

Roger knocks down the littluns' sandcastles in Chapter 4 of "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding. This act foreshadows his later descent into violence and savagery.
In Chapter 8 of "Lord of the Flies," the boys who stay with Ralph are Piggy, Samneric (Sam and Eric), and a few littluns. They remain loyal to Ralph, even as the group dynamic begins to shift towards Jack's savage tribe.

The littluns in Lord of the Flies are the symbol of commen folk.

In the beginning of Chapter 5 of "Lord of the Flies," Ralph speculates about the whereabouts of the littluns and the possible reasons for their disappearing during the night. He wonders if they could be playing or hiding. He also considers the potential dangers on the island at night that may have caused them to wander off.
No, Jack's choir may vary in age but they later become Jack's hunters. The true littluns don't hunt, they spend most of their time eating, sleeping and playing.
In The Lord of the Flies Simon cares for and gets along well with the Littluns. He takes the time to care for the Littluns.
