Dot to Dot: Winter Hat — 12 Dots for Ages 4–5
How to use this worksheet
- Find the bigger dot 1 on the pompom at the top of the hat and join the numbers clockwise, saying each one aloud.
- Twelve dots go just past ten: 10 to 12 come last, on the left side of the hat, climbing back to the pompom.
- When dot 12 meets dot 1, the hat is closed: color the ribbed brim and the pompom in two different colors.
What this worksheet teaches
The winter hat practices counting to twelve, lines around a soft rounded shape and recognizing clothing from its outline. Ears and a bare head get cold quickly in frosty wind, which is why we wear hats in winter.
Play idea
Design a pattern for the hat — stripes, stars or reindeer.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Why wear a hat in winter?
It keeps the head and especially the ears warm — they are among the first places to feel the frost.
What age is this worksheet for?
Children aged 4–5 — twelve dots around the hat stretch counting just past ten, and the pale dashed outline keeps the pompom easy.
What if my child skips a number?
Ask which hat dot they joined last, count to it together, then follow the dashed line to the next number.
