Dot to Dot: Little Sheep — 10 Dots for Ages 4–5
How to use this worksheet
- The sheep starts at dot 1, the slightly larger one; your child joins the ten dots one by one and says each number aloud.
- With just ten numbers to find, the little sheep is a calm first dot-to-dot for counting 1 to 10.
- Join dot 10 back to dot 1 to close the sheep, then color its face and legs darker than the wool.
What this worksheet teaches
Counting the little sheep's ten dots strengthens number order from 1 to 10, careful line drawing and recognizing a farm animal from its outline. Sheep are sheared every year, and their wool becomes sweaters and hats.
Play idea
Glue cotton wool on the sheep or draw its fluffy curls.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Why does a sheep have so much wool?
Wool keeps it warm in winter, and in summer the farmer shears it so the sheep stays cool.
What age is this worksheet for?
Four- and five-year-olds who count to ten will find the sheep's ten dots just right.
What if my child skips a number?
Show your child the last dot they joined on the sheep, count on from it together and the next number will appear.
