A guide for grown-ups
A dot-to-dot book for dinosaur fans that grows with your child, from short puzzles a 4-year-old can finish alone to big puzzles that challenge a 7-year-old.
Where should my child start?
The puzzles come in five levels. A child who is still learning to count past 20 should begin at the first level, Hatchling. A child who counts easily to 100 can jump ahead to Adventurer or Dino Expert and come back to the early pages on tired days.
Turn it into a guessing game
Each puzzle has a short clue about the hidden animal. Before your child starts, read the clue together and ask, "Who do you think it is?" Halfway through, ask again. Kids love checking their guess at the last dot, and it keeps them going on the longer puzzles.
More than counting
Joining dots in order trains number sequence, and it also trains looking ahead to find the next number. The ID cards after each level add new words (like the names of the animals) and simple facts you can talk about at dinner.
Tips
- Let your child say each number out loud on the first few puzzles.
- A light pencil first, then crayon, helps perfectionists who hate mistakes.
- Use the bonus pages (mazes, matching, spot the difference) as a break between levels.
