How to play

  1. Before you start: Draw three or four thick lines across a sheet of paper: one straight, one wavy, one zigzag.

  2. Peel one dot sticker and press it onto the start of the straight line.

  3. Hand them the sheet of stickers and point at the line.

  4. Let them fill the line with stickers, one after another.

  5. Move on to the wavy line, then the zigzag.

  6. Count the stickers on each line at the end.

What it helps with

Keep it safe

  • Stickers are a choking risk for under-3s. Stay within arm's reach.

Make it different next time

  • Draw circles in different colors and match the sticker color.
  • Draw the first letter of their name and fill it with dots.
  • Sticker maze: draw a wiggly path from one corner to the other and cover it with dots, start to finish.

Cleanup: Put the picture on the fridge.
