Example
Example: three expert puzzles of 100 to 150 dots on Letter, with the answers
A long puzzle for a patient 10-year-old or an adult. Settings: Level Expert, Picture “A different one each time”, Pages 3, “Add the answer pages” ticked, Sheet number 1, Paper US Letter.
- Sheet number 1 brings a butterfly of 142 dots, a bird of 116 and a rabbit of 134, one to a page: expert and hard puzzles are always one per page.
- Over each puzzle a line says how far to go, e.g. “Join the dots from 1 to 142 in order, then back to 1.” A star marks dot 1; numbers are 2.2 mm tall and sit just outside the line.
- dot-to-dot.pdf has six pages: the three puzzles, then three answer pages with the line drawn and the picture named.
- Change the sheet number for three new pictures. For exactly 150 dots, choose Apple tree or Flower.
| Picture | Easy | Medium | Hard | Expert |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apple tree | 20 | 40 | 80 | 150 |
| Flower | 20 | 40 | 80 | 150 |
| Butterfly | 20 | 38 | 75 | 142 |
| Snowman | 20 | 37 | 73 | 139 |
| Dog | 36 (medium) | 36 | 73 | 138 |
| Rabbit | 20 | 35 | 70 | 134 |
| Pumpkin | 20 | 34 | 68 | 131 |
| Fish | 15 | 28 | 56 | 110 |
| House | 11 | 26 | 53 | 105 |
| Sailing boat | 10 | 25 | 50 | 100 |
Three expert puzzles and their answers, about 390 dots in all. For a preschooler choose Easy and two puzzles per page: sheet 1 then gives a turtle (20), a rocket (15), an apple tree (20) and an owl (11) on two pages.
How it works
- Choose the level: 10 to 20 big dots for a preschooler, up to 150 small ones for a patient adult.
- Pick a picture, or let each puzzle bring a different one, and how many pages.
- Print, join the dots from 1 in order — the star marks where to start — and the picture appears.
Frequently asked questions
- Which ages is it for?
- Easy (10 to 20 dots, numbers 6 mm tall) suits ages 3 to 5 who are learning their numbers; medium, ages 5 to 7; hard and expert, children who count to 100 and beyond, and adults who like a slow puzzle.
- Are the numbers easy to find?
- Every number sits just outside the line, never on a dot or where the pencil will go, and never on top of another number. Details a single line cannot draw — an eye, a window — are printed already.
- Can I make one from my own picture?
- Yes, with the picture-to-dot-to-dot maker: it traces the outline of a silhouette or a bold drawing and numbers the dots along it.
- Which pictures have the most dots?
- At Expert, the apple tree and the flower have 150, the butterfly 142, the snowman 139 and the dog 138. Simpler outlines get fewer: the sailing boat, crown and kite have 100. No picture goes above 150.
- Why does the dog have more dots at Easy?
- The dog, elephant, dinosaur and sun need at least the medium number of dots to look like themselves, so chosen at Easy they print at medium (32 to 36 dots). With “A different one each time”, Easy leaves them out.
- Is there a footer on it?
- Only on the free plan: a small line “Made with nouplo.com” at the foot of the last page. With Pro there is none. Either way the sheet is made in your browser.
