Dot-to-dot does two things at once: the child counts the numbers in order and draws a line from point to point — exactly the skill needed later for writing. The reward is a picture that appears from under the pencil, and that works better than any encouragement to keep practicing.

The simplest sheets have ten dots and are meant for four-year-olds; the next ones go up to twenty and fifty. The finished picture can be colored in straight away, so one sheet keeps a child busy for a good while. All files are A4 and print in black and white.

Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions

How many dots should we start with?
Ten is enough for a four-year-old, twenty for a five-year-old. Numbers above fifty only make sense once the child counts confidently to a hundred.
What do we do with the finished picture?
Color it in. The outline was drawn by the child's own hand, so coloring is a natural continuation of the same exercise.
