Make your own dot to dot
Describe one big animal or object with a clear outline. Drawing uses 1 AI picture; turning it into numbered dots is Premium and uses 1 more. The answer key is separate.
About these dot to dot pages
Join the numbered dots in order and a picture appears: a fish, a turkey, a squirrel or Santa. Pre-K pages count from 1 to 20 with very big numbers. Pages for K and grade 1 count to about 30, and pages for grades 2 and 3 to about 50. A star marks dot 1, and the answer key shows the dots joined. Once the outline is drawn, the page becomes a coloring page.
These library pages are free for personal and classroom use. Read the license.
Printing and coloring tips
- Start at the star. Say each number out loud before drawing to the next dot.
- Use a pencil for the lines, so mistakes can be rubbed out, then color with crayons.
- If the numbers are hard to find, have your child point to the next dot before drawing.
- Older kids can time themselves, or try the pages that count to about 50.

Pre-K (ages 3-4): 18 to 20 dots with very big numbers, for counting to 20.
K and grade 1 (ages 5-6): 30 to 35 dots with big numbers.
