Every puzzle page hides a shape behind numbered dots. Your child draws from number to number, and at the end a picture stands there that they brought out themselves.
Dot-to-dot pairs number order with drawing. Malwerk plans a separate silhouette for each page from your chosen world — rocket, crescent moon, ufo, helmet, comet, satellite — so no shape repeats inside a book. Plain coloring pages sit between the puzzles as a break.
For children who already recognize numbers and like having something to do before they color. Anyone still practising the order works the first pages through with you — that is part of the fun.
From 5 years. At 5–7 a page carries roughly 20 to 27 dots, spaced widely enough for short fingers. From 8 it goes up to 40 dots and the shapes get finer. We do not offer this book type for 2–4: counting to 30 overwhelms more than it delights at that age.
You choose a themed world, an age band and optionally a photo as the main character.
Malwerk lays out a different silhouette for every puzzle page and spreads the dots evenly along the line.
You print the PDF, your child connects, discovers and colors.
No. Every themed world carries six different silhouettes, and the pages walk through them in turn before any shape appears a second time.
Yes. Joining the dots leaves a closed outline drawing. On top of that, ordinary coloring pages sit between the puzzles.
Mini has 4 puzzles, Kompakt 8 and Komplett 12 — with coloring pages and the cover in between.
Your motif. Your pages.
Pick a themed world and an age band, and the first row of dots appears.
