Connect the dots: house
How to use this worksheet
- Put the crayon on the large dot 1 at the tip of the roof.
- Slide along the dashed line to 2 and down to 3 at the bottom right.
- From 3 go up to 4, the top of the door, then down to 5 and up the left side to 6.
- Finish with the line from 6 back to the roof tip at 1.
What this worksheet teaches
With six dots and a dashed guide, the whole picture takes only a few minutes, short enough for a three-year-old to finish in one go, and finishing matters more than neatness at this age. The house still contains long slanted lines and a sharp up-and-down turn at the door, so the hand practices stopping on a dot and changing direction. Saying the numbers one to six out loud while drawing links the spoken count to the written numerals.
Play idea
Turn the shape into your own home. Draw windows on both sides of the door, a chimney with a curl of smoke on the roof and a path leading to the door. Then ask your child who lives inside and draw them too.
