Dot to Dot: Carrot with Green Leaves — Ages 3–4
How to use this worksheet
- Dot 1 is above the leaves; dots 8, 1 and 2 frame the leafy top.
- Follow the line down the right side of the carrot through 3 and 4 to the pointed tip at dot 5.
- Come back up the left side through 6 and 7 and close the shape at the top.
- Color the root orange and the leaves green, then count the short lines across the carrot.
What this worksheet teaches
The carrot narrows to a point, so the lines from 4 to 5 and from 5 to 6 meet at a sharp tip. Aiming both lines at the same spot is good practice in accuracy, and the pointed V at the bottom is a shape children meet again in letters such as V and W. Counting stays between 1 and 8, which suits children who are still learning the order of small numbers. The picture also opens a short chat about food: the orange part we eat is the carrot's root, which grows under the ground, while only the green leaves stick out above the soil.
Play idea
Cut the leafy top off a real carrot, stand it in a saucer with a little water and put it by a window. Within days new leaves start to grow, and your child can check on them every morning.
