Dot to Dot: Pineapple with a Leafy Top — 12 Dots for Ages 4–5
How to use this worksheet
- Begin at the bigger dot 1 on the tallest leaf of the pineapple's crown and join the numbers clockwise, saying each one aloud.
- Twelve dots go one step beyond ten: dots 11 and 12 sit on the left side of the leafy top, just before the line returns to dot 1.
- When dot 12 meets dot 1, the pineapple is complete: draw it on a plate next to a banana and an orange.
What this worksheet teaches
The pineapple page practices counting to twelve, lines around a spiky crown and recognizing a fruit from its outline. A pineapple grows from a rosette of leaves near the ground, not on a tree.
Play idea
Add the criss-cross pattern, then color the fruit yellow and the leaves green.
