Springtime Connect The Dots (with modifications)

I always enjoy a good connect-the-dots activity and this one, in particular, reminded me of springtime. One of the tricky things about connect-the-dots is that it requires your child to be thinking and doing a whole bunch of different things at the same time. In this case, your kiddo is being asked to remember the letters of the alphabet, in order, keep track of which letter she is up to as she works on the activity, find the appropriate dot, draws straight lines from one dot to the next, and so on. All of this can truly hinder a little one's ability to complete this task. To eliminate some of the problematic stuff, go ahead and write out the almphabet, the lowercase alphabet for this worksheet, on the top or bottom of the page. Then, instruct your little one to keep her pencil on the paper at all times, as she draws lines from dot to dot and, then, searches for the next dot in the sequence. For example, she will put her pencil on the letter a dot to begin. While holding her pencil there, she will scan your written alphabet for the next letter. If she forgets what letter she is currently on, she can always check the spot where her pencil is waiting. If your child has trouble with connect-the-dots activities, definitely give this tip a try!
