Connect the Dots Scaly Fish With Fan Tail

A round, scaly fish sits tilted on the page, with rows of small arch shapes covering its body like scales. A fan of long thin lines spreads out from the top like a tail or crest. Near the bottom left are a solid round eye and a curved mouth. One straight line is already drawn from dot 1 up to dot 8. The numbered dots 2 through 7 are still waiting to be joined, so kids can count in order and finish the outline themselves. The numbers are printed sideways, which is a nice little challenge for early readers. Once the dots are connected, try coloring each row of scales in a different shade, or alternate two colors to make a pattern. The page is also free to print for a quick counting warm-up.
