Dot to Dot Worksheets: What Are They?

A Dot to Dot Worksheet is an entertaining puzzle that looks like a set of dots that should be connected with a single line or numerous lines to create a black-and-white drawing.

Alternate Name:

• Connect the Dots Worksheet.

This is a fun activity that allows children to improve their handwriting and drawing skills as well as understand number patterns.

You can create your own puzzles from scratch - take any illustration or drawing you like and add the dots along the contour of the depicted animal, bird, character, flower, plant, etc. A Food Dot to Dot Sheet, for example, can depict familiar food and dishes the child likes - they can use pencils and crayons to solve the puzzles on printables you have prepared.

A simpler worksheet may only include dots without any clues to help the child - for instance, a pattern that looks like a heart or star can be completed quickly and with no assistance. Some puzzles are half-finished - you only have to connect some dots to see the full picture; these are easier and aimed at younger children that only learn to draw or hold the pencil correctly.

However, most Dot to Dot Worksheets include small numbers written next to the dots to show the person the right sequence to follow to get the desired result. You can make the puzzle more difficult if you want to combine the elements of entertainment and education - replace the regular numbers with letters to teach the kid the alphabet, add letters and characters from a foreign alphabet, or ask the child to connect the dots with Roman numerals written next to them.
