    Dot-to-dot puzzles, also known as connect-the-dot pictures, are a terrific printable activity for little ones just learning to count or to recite the alphabet. And with a coloring picture as a fun reward, who can resist them?

    AZ Coloring: Hard Dot-to-Dots4 stars

    Although not for the pre-K crowd, I included this unique resource because most of the puzzles have more than 100 dots and no pre-drawn lines! The puzzles aren't titled, so you won't know the subject until you start working on it. But each puzzle includes user ratings (one a scale from one to five stars) and a handful are labeled as "Popular."

    These forty-four printable connect-the-dots puzzles are all numeric, no alphabet games included. The coloring pictures are very cute and the numbers range from 1-10 to 1-120. But in order to find out how hard each picture is, you will need to click through to open it. To print the puzzle without the ad, don't use your browser print function. Instead, click on the image, and as long as you have JavaScript enabled, a print dialog box will open.

    Dot to Dot Puzzles is my pick of the week because of the size of their collection (510 printable puzzles) and the consistent quality of their pictures. The puzzles are all numeric, and organized by categories such as Animals, Flowers, Sports or Toys. The largest puzzle goes up to forty dots, but these are intermingled with the simpler ones, so you'll just have to browse to find what you need. In addition to the free one-at-a-time downloads, Dot to Dot offers a $9 option to download the entire collection all at once.

    Kids R Crafty: Dot-to-Dot5 stars

    Kids R Crafty has a nice collection of numeric and alphabetic dot-to-dot puzzles, including capital and lowercase letters. What I like best about the site is that each puzzle is clearly labeled with the numbers or letters included. And it's the only one of today's sites that includes puzzles for counting by twos, fives or tens. Other preschool activities on the site include printable coloring pages, mazes, shapes, letters and numbers.

    Print Activities: Number Dot-to-Dot Printables4 stars

    Nicely organized by theme and labeled with the numbers included, this collection includes one puzzle with more than a hundred dots. Visit for the seasonal and holiday themes (Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Halloween, and Christmas) and the unusual alphabet puzzles. These alphabet puzzles are numeric dot-to-dots done in the shape of each lower and uppercase letter. For example, lowercase "a" is a 1-20 puzzle, while uppercase "A" is a 1-10 puzzle.
