Dot-to-dot puzzles, also known as connect-the-dot pictures, are a terrific printable activity for little ones just learning to count or to recite the alphabet. And with a coloring picture as a fun reward, who can resist them?<\/p>\n

AZ Coloring: Hard Dot-to-Dots

Although not for the pre-K crowd, I included this unique resource because most of the puzzles have more than 100 dots and no pre-drawn lines! The puzzles aren’t titled, so you won’t know the subject until you start working on it. But each puzzle includes user ratings (one a scale from one to five stars) and a handful are labeled as “Popular.”<\/p>\n

Coloring-Page: Connect the Dots

These forty-four printable connect-the-dots puzzles are all numeric, no alphabet games included. The coloring pictures are very cute and the numbers range from 1-10 to 1-120. But in order to find out how hard each picture is, you will need to click through to open it. To print the puzzle without the ad, don’t use your browser print function. Instead, click on the image, and as long as you have JavaScript enabled, a print dialog box will open.<\/p>\n

Dot to Dot Puzzles

Dot to Dot Puzzles is my pick of the week because of the size of their collection (510 printable puzzles) and the consistent quality of their pictures. The puzzles are all numeric, and organized by categories such as Animals, Flowers, Sports or Toys. The largest puzzle goes up to forty dots, but these are intermingled with the simpler ones, so you’ll just have to browse to find what you need. In addition to the free one-at-a-time downloads, Dot to Dot offers a $ 9 option to download the entire collection all at once.<\/p>\n

Quote of the Week<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something \u2014 your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.\u201d ~~ Steve Jobs ~~ (February 24, 1955 \u2013 October 5, 2011) American technology entrepreneur.
