Dot to Dot: Squirrel with a Nut — 15 Dots for Ages 5–6
How to use this worksheet
- Begin at the bigger dot 1 on the tip of the squirrel's ear and join the numbers clockwise down its front, saying each one aloud.
- After the feet, dots 9 to 14 curve around the big tail on the left, so counting past ten follows the tail back up to the head.
- When dot 15 connects to dot 1, the squirrel is finished: color its fur reddish-brown and give the acorn in its paws a darker cap.
What this worksheet teaches
This squirrel page practices counting to fifteen, lines around a curling tail and recognizing a forest animal from its outline. A squirrel buries nuts for winter, and forgotten ones grow into new trees.
Play idea
Add a tree hollow and a store of nuts, then count them together.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
What does a squirrel do with nuts?
It hides them in the ground and in tree hollows to have food in winter.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 5–6 — fifteen dots around the squirrel with a nut mean counting past ten, guided by a pale dashed outline.
What if my child skips a number?
Go back to the last squirrel dot they reached, count on from there aloud, and follow the dashed line to the next dot.
