Connect the dots: rocket
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the large dot 1, the tip of the nose.
- Follow the long straight side down through 2 to 3.
- Dot 4 is the tip of the right fin, 6 the bottom point and 8 the tip of the left fin.
- Go up the left side through 9 and 10, and close with 10 to 1.
What this worksheet teaches
The long vertical sides of the rocket are among the easiest strokes for a four-year-old, while the fins add slanted lines that go out and back in. That mix of easy and slightly harder strokes suits children who have done one or two traced sheets and want something a bit bigger. With the dashed guide, the focus stays on saying the numbers 1 to 10 in the right order.
Play idea
Flames! Draw orange and yellow zigzags under the bottom point at dot 6, add a round window and ask where the rocket is flying: to the Moon, to Mars or to a planet your child invents? Draw that place in the corner of the page.
