Same dots, same places

A pattern of dots is copied a row and a column at a time: find the dot, find the same place on the empty grid, color it. The patterns here are pictures — an arrow, a heart, a letter — so the child can see the whole and check it whole.

How it works
Ages4–8TypeCoordination

Find the row, find the column, color the dot.

A copy the dots worksheet generator, printable as a PDF. Ten pairs a page, each a grid of circles with some filled in and an empty grid beside it to color the same way. Pick a 4 × 4 grid, a 5 × 5 grid, or the mirror level, where the pattern has to be colored the way it would look in a mirror, across a dashed line. Every figure comes from a pool of shapes that are something — arrows pointing every way, hearts, houses, trees, stairs, letters — turned and flipped for dozens of different ones, and never twice on a page. The mirror level has an answer key.
