How to do a connect the dots

Find the star: that is dot number 1 (or the letter A). Draw a straight line to dot 2, then 3, and keep going in order. Say each number out loud as you reach it. When you get to the last dot, join it back to the star, and the picture is done. Then color it in.

Printing tip: print at 100 percent (actual size) on US Letter paper. The sheets are black and white, so any printer works.

Questions

Are these connect the dots printables free?

Yes. All 32 sheets and their answer keys are free to print for home and classroom use, with no signup and no watermark.

Which level should I start with?

Most 3 and 4 year olds start with 1 to 10, where the dots and numbers are big. Kindergarteners usually manage 1 to 20 and 1 to 30. Children who can count to 100 enjoy the 1 to 100 sheets, which take longer and need a steady hand.

What is the star for?

The star marks where to start. From there, draw a line to the next number or letter, and keep going in order until you are back at the star. Then color the picture.

What do children learn from dot to dots?

Counting in order, recognizing numbers or letters out of order on the page, and pencil control. They also get to see a picture appear, which keeps them going.

Where are the answers?

Each PDF has the finished picture on page 2, with every dot joined. The all-in-one PDFs put the answer pages at the back.

Are there dot to dots that count by 2s, 5s or 10s?

Yes, on the skip counting worksheets page: dot-to-dots that count by 2s, 5s and 10s.
