About this resource

What's inside this resource

Connect all the dots to create the picture of the fierce winged dragon! The dragon is standing before a castle stronghold, ready to protect the human fortress. There are 945 dots to connect. One the puzzle is complete, let your students turn the drawing into their own unique artwork using crayons, markers, and colored pencils. What color is the dragon? What pattern adorns its scales? It's all up to their creativity!

Of course, dot-to-dots don't have to be just for kids. Grownups, including teachers, often enjoy completing them too! Many people find dot-to-dots to be a perfect combination of challenging and relaxing. Finding the next number it tricky enough to be a fun challenge, yet easy enough not to get frustrated by the task. Furthermore, connecting the dots may help improve fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, concentration, focus, and determination.

For best results, print the puzzle onto a nice sheet of sturdy paper. Finally, you can scale the image to whatever size you like without any loss or resolution! Why not scale it up to make a large dot-to-dot poster? I hope you enjoy the dragon dot-to-dot. If you want more dot-to-dot puzzles, please take a look at my other printables here at TeachSimple.
