Dot to Dot: Tulip with a Straight Stem — 9 Dots for Ages 3–4
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the bigger dot 1 on the tip of the tulip's right petal and join the numbers clockwise, saying each one aloud.
- Nine dots run down past the leaf to the end of the stem at dot 6, then back up the left side to the petals, with a dashed guide between them.
- When dot 9 joins dot 1, the tulip is complete: draw two more tulips beside it and a watering can.
What this worksheet teaches
The tulip page practices counting to nine, lines down a straight stem and recognizing a flower from its outline. Tulips grow from bulbs planted in the fall.
Play idea
Color the tulip and add a vase or a flower bed.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
When do tulips bloom?
In spring — bulbs are planted in the fall and flowers appear in April and May.
Are nine dots too many for a 3–4 year old?
Usually not: the count stays below ten, and the dashed guide shows where the stem and petals go, so help is needed only with the first numbers.
What if my child skips a number on the tulip?
Count the tulip's dots from 1 again together, pointing at each — with nine dots the skipped number is quickly found.
