3 dot-to-dotsAnswer keys includedA4 + US Letter

Christmas tree connect the dots in 31, 38 or 59 dots, from the star on top to the pot. A free Christmas tree dot to dot on A4 or Letter, ornaments in gray.

Choose a level

A five-point star, three tiers that step outward, a short trunk and a pot with a rim make up the outline of this Christmas tree connect the dots. The treetop star is where the numbers begin and end. The easy page joins the tree in 31 dots for ages 3 to 5, the medium page uses 38 for ages 6 to 8, and the hard page 59 for ages 9 to 12.

Zigzag star, stepped sides

The orange Start star marks the highest point of the treetop star. The numbers zigzag around the star’s right arms, then step down the right side of the three tiers to the trunk. They wrap around the pot rim, cross the flat bottom of the pot and climb the whole left side back to the top. The hard page follows the same route with more dots along each tier edge.

Already decorated

Two curved garlands, six round ornaments, the edges between the tiers, the base of the star and the lines across the pot are printed in soft gray on every level, so the tree is already decorated by the time the line is halfway round. At the pot the dots turn several sharp corners close together, and a page shrunk to fit squeezes them even tighter, so the A4 or US Letter PDF works best at 100 percent. A second page in each PDF shows the joined outline as an answer key.

Skills practiced & tips

  1. Point to the orange Start star at the top before picking up the pencil.
  2. Say each number out loud as the line moves down the right side of the tree.
  3. Slow down at the pot, where the dots turn several sharp corners close together.
  4. On the 59-dot page, color the six gray ornaments after joining, then fill in the tree green.
  5. Use a ruler for the long straight edges on the 59-dot page if your child likes neat lines.

Frequently asked questions

Does the 59-dot tree have more tiers than the 31-dot one?

No. All three pages draw the same tree, with the star, three tiers, trunk and pot. The easy page has 31 dots for ages 3 to 5, the medium page 38 for ages 6 to 8 and the hard page 59 for ages 9 to 12, with more dots along each tier edge.

What are the gray curves?

The long curves are the two garlands and the circles are six ornaments. All three pages, the 59-dot one included, also show the edges between the tiers, the base of the star and the lines across the pot in light gray.

Are the ornaments part of the dot outline?

No. The dots trace only the star, the three tiers, the trunk and the pot. The ornaments appear as gray circles on every page, from the 31-dot level to the 59-dot one.

Can children add their own ornaments?

Yes. The six printed ornaments are gray circles that sit off the dot path, and children can draw a few more of their own on the tiers before coloring.
