Dot-to-Dot: Tree
Toddler · 2–3A tree in 28 dots: a round top on a short trunk. The crown is a long gentle curve made of short hops between dots, and the trunk is four straight lines at the end, so a child finishes on the easy part rather than the hard one. Then color it in. A free printable for ages three to six, on A4 or US Letter.
Curve first, straight lines last
The round crown is a long arc built from short hops, and the trunk is four straight lines at the very end. Finishing on the easy part is deliberate on a page like this: a child who runs out of patience does so in the middle, not at the finish.
What to look for
Whether the short hops around the crown stay joined up. Lifting the pencil between every dot is normal and fine; the shape survives it.
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 tree 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.
