Dot-to-Dot: Holiday Stocking
Toddler · 2–3A holiday stocking in 28 dots. The toe and heel are curves and the cuff is a straight band, and the finished shape is unmistakable — one of the easiest pictures here to recognise halfway through. Good for December, and good for coloring in afterwards. Free printable for ages three to six, A4 and US Letter.
Unmistakable halfway through
The toe and heel are curves and the cuff is a straight band, and the silhouette is one almost every child knows on sight. It is the easiest page in the set to recognise early, which makes it a good one to put in front of a child who has given up on a harder sheet.
Worth cutting out
Coloured and cut, it hangs on a door. A dot-to-dot that becomes an object rather than a page is a different proposition to a four-year-old.
Frequently asked questions
- Why does every page go up to 28?
- So there is no easy page and no hard page to sort first. A child who can count to twenty-eight can do the stocking and every other picture in the set.
- Why are these all objects rather than animals?
- Because joining dots gives you an outline, and an animal's outline is a lump — what makes an owl an owl is its face, which sits inside the shape. A key, a crown or a stocking is recognisable from its edge alone.
