Dot to Dot: European Bison — 24 Dots for Ages 6–8
How to use this worksheet
- Dot 1 is the bigger dot at the top of the bison's big head; join the numbers clockwise down the front, saying each one aloud.
- There are 24 dots and no guide line, so let your child point to the next number with a finger first, then draw.
- When dot 24 joins dot 1, the bison is complete: color the shaggy mane darker than the rest of the coat and give it a pile of hay.
What this worksheet teaches
The bison page practices counting to twenty-four, careful searching around the legs and recognizing a large animal from its outline. The European bison is Europe's largest land animal and lives in forests such as Bialowieza.

Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Where can you see a bison?
In the wild in Poland, for example in the Bialowieza Forest, and in many wildlife parks across Europe.
Who is the bison page for?
Children aged 6–8 who count past twenty; the big head comes first and makes the animal easy to guess.
What if my child skips a number on the bison?
Have them read the last bison number and search nearby — around the four legs the dots from 11 to 16 are close together, so take it slowly.
