A little plan for play
Open interactive activity →Add to play journal →What you need
The house dot-to-dot page or a full sheet of paper, plus large child-appropriate crayons.
Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Let's make it happen
- Open and print the page, or have an adult draw five large dots: two along the bottom, two above them, and one centered above those. Label them 1 at bottom left, 2 at bottom right, 3 at upper right, 4 at the top, and 5 at upper left.
- Find 1 and draw a line to 2. Continue from 2 to 3, 3 to 4, and 4 to 5; then connect 5 back to 1.
- Notice the house outline. Add a door, windows, and any colors or details your child chooses.
Adult stays beside the child and helps identify numbers as needed.
