Dot-To-Dot

Most kids like dot-to-dot a lot; I guess I once did, too. The problem is, the picture’s Always obvious to view. Before she’s gone from 1 to 2, My granddaughter, who’s 5, Announces, “ It’s a bird or girl,” Not falling for their jive. She still connects the numbers, Since she’s learning them right now, But there isn’t any mystery In what the dots allow.

There are some extreme dot to dots which manage to hide their pic but simple ones don’t

sounds like you've got a smart grand-dotter! there used to be a folding picture on the back cover of MAD magazine where you'd see a normal-looking picture, but when you folded twice at the arrows, you'd get a surprising new and humorous picture. we'd always try to guess what it would be before folding, usually failing!

But they quickly identify the children who do not wish to follow the rules! Nice one, Ilene! Aloha! Rico

Well, as long as it makes the kids happy, I guess... But you're right. There is no mystery in those dot-to-dots. Oh, well. ~ gw
