Connect the dots: pumpkin
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the large dot 1 at the top of the stem and go down to 2.
- Dots 3 to 7 curve around the right side; 8 is the dip in the middle of the bottom.
- Dots 9 to 13 go up the left side, and 14 is the base of the stem on the left.
- Close with 14 to 1, then check with the red outline on page two.
What this worksheet teaches
Fourteen dots on a round shape mean short strokes that change angle only a little each time, excellent practice for the smooth, controlled curves in numerals such as 6, 8 and 9. Counting from 11 to 14 on the left side brings in the teen numbers, which many five- and six-year-olds read less confidently than 1 to 10. The answer key lets the child check the shape on their own before coloring.
Variation to try
Make a pumpkin patch. Your child draws two smaller pumpkins freehand next to the big one, links them with a curling vine and adds leaves. Count all the pumpkins, then give each one a different face: happy, sleepy, surprised.
