Nephi Building the Ship Connect the Dots Page

Nephi is drawn in profile, facing left with a small smile, a patterned headband around his head, and a quiver of arrows on his back. He holds a hammer in one hand and works beside a wooden frame with three upright posts joined by a long horizontal beam. Above him is a numbered dot-to-dot puzzle from 1 to 38 that outlines the ship, with a flag on a tall center mast, long lines fanning out like rigging, and planks stacked in layers. A short question at the bottom asks how Nephi knew how to build the ship, with a reference to 1 Nephi 17 to 18. Try this printable as a read-aloud activity: finish the dots in number order, then color the ship in wood browns and talk about how Nephi trusted the Lord's directions. Chunky numbers make it a good fit for early counters.
