Dot to Dot: Puppy with a Raised Ear — 15 Dots for Ages 5–6
How to use this worksheet
- Dot 1 is the bigger dot at the tip of the raised ear; join the numbers clockwise from there, saying each one aloud.
- The fifteen dots run down the puppy's side, along its paws and back up past the floppy ear, so the teens come near the end.
- When dot 15 links back to dot 1, the puppy is whole: color its fur and patches, then draw a collar under its chin.
What this worksheet teaches
The puppy sheet practices counting to fifteen, careful lines around paws and ears and recognizing an animal from its outline. Dogs hear sounds people cannot, which is why they sometimes prick up one ear.
Play idea
Draw the puppy a bowl and a ball, then give it a name.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Why is one of the puppy's ears raised?
It is listening — dogs turn their ears toward a sound to catch it better.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 5–6 — fifteen dots around the puppy practice counting into the teens, with a pale dashed outline for support.
What if my child skips a number?
Ask where the pencil stopped on the puppy, read that number together and find the next one along the dashed line.
