Double Dot to Dot

Two dot-to-dot pictures side by side with the same numbers, one for each hand. With a pencil in each hand, the child joins 1 to 2 on both pictures at once, then 2 to 3, and so on; or the hands take turns, left then right, number by number. The left picture is numbered the other way round from the right one, so with the same picture on both sides the hands move in mirror image. Choose different pictures and each hand draws its own shape while keeping pace with the other. More dots make longer pictures. The answer page shows both pictures joined.
