Gorilla Dot-to-Dot PDF

The gorilla puzzle spreads its numerical route across a broad animal form, with many points clustered around facial and body contours. Solvers must distinguish adjacent values, travel between separate regions of the page, and return to the correct sequence after each shift. Three supplied pages provide the working puzzle and companion visual material. The task emphasizes patient number tracking as much as drawing the final primate outline.

About this resource

Connect all the dots to discover the image of the two gorillas! In the completed scene, a young gorilla approaches his mother. In the background there is a tangle of foliage, vines and trees. In addition to the gorilla dot-to-dot activity, I’ve included an answer key on page 2, and a full-colour example on page 3, which can be used for kids as a reference image if they wish to colour their dot-to-dot after completing it (Get those crayons and coloured pencils ready!). There are 527 dots to connect in total, making this dot-to-dot an interesting challenge for students across a wide range of ages, from early elementary to middle and even high school.
