Dot to Dot: Broccoli — 18 Dots for Ages 5–6
How to use this worksheet
- Dot 1 is the bigger dot on top of the broccoli's bumpy crown; join the numbers clockwise down the right side, saying each one aloud.
- Dots 8 to 12 go around the thick stalk at the bottom, and 13 to 18 climb the left side of the crown into the high teens.
- When dot 18 joins dot 1, the broccoli is closed: draw a carrot and a pea pod beside it to make a vegetable plate.
What this worksheet teaches
The broccoli sheet practices counting to eighteen, lines along a bumpy edge and recognizing a vegetable from its outline. Broccoli is really a bunch of flower buds picked before they bloom.
Play idea
Color the broccoli green and talk about favorite vegetables.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Why does broccoli look like a little tree?
It has a thick stalk and a crown of buds — the outline looks like a treetop.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 5–6 — eighteen dots around the broccoli practice counting through the teens, with a dashed outline to guide the bumpy edge.
What if my child skips a number?
Ask where the pencil stopped on the broccoli, read that number and look for the next dot along the pale dashed line.
