Dot to Dot: Camera with a Big Lens — 40 Dots for Ages 8–10
How to use this worksheet
- The lens rings, the grip and the details on top are printed; your child draws the body around them.
- Begin at the bigger dot 1 on top of the raised block; dots 40, 1, 2 and 3 run across it.
- The right side goes almost straight down to 14, and dots 15 to 24 form a long, flat bottom edge.
- Dots 32 to 38 go round the dial on the upper left; after 40, return to 1.
What this worksheet teaches
Long straight runs made of many dots are the real test here. Ten dots in a row along the bottom must end up as one straight edge, so every short line has to point the same way as the one before, and a ruler laid along it afterward shows how steady the hand was. Counting runs to 40, and your child has to check two-digit numbers carefully where 31 to 34 sit close together on the left. A camera also makes for a good science chat: its lens bends light to form a sharp picture, much like the lens in our eye.
Play idea
Go on a photo hunt with a phone: take ten pictures of round things at home, such as plates and clocks, just like the big lens. Then choose the best one.
