"Dot to dot" games     posted on 7th of september, 2011

In my opinion connecting dots is one of the most funny games for children. It is a great educational quiz game for concentration and helps improving hand-eye coordination in kids.

If you want to draw illustrations with this game, you should be aware of the many possibilities you have:

The famous "Dot to dot" or "Connect the dots" game can be made ...

1. with numbers, the classic way.

2. with alphabet letters, a great opportunity for kids learning the alphabet in a funny way.

3. with symbols like stars, hearts, … This is ideal for very young children who are not able to connect numbers or alphabet letters yet.


Some "Dot to dot" drawing tips: The shapes of your drawings have to be simple/clear, so “Line Art” is very important: Just concentrate on simplicity!

Step 1: Draw an illustration with simple lines.
Step 2: Now draw the dots and number them in chronological order as you draw. Be careful with the size of the dots and numbers!
Step 3: Please keep in mind that it will be a game for children, so do not draw dots around the face and other elements in order to make the finished results easier to interpret.




The "Funny games for kids" collection contains a lot of "Connect the dot" games. Please leave a comment with the ID of your illustration if it fits into this collection! Also write a comment if you have any further questions or suggestions. Thanks for reading!
