How to Complete the Child in a Fairy Costume Dot to Dot
This friendly fairy is ready to grant a wish. Start at dot 1 near the outstretched hand on the left, follow every number in order around the slippers, skirt, wand, and wings, and finish at dot 77 back beside the hand.
1–15 — Left Arm and First Slipper
Begin at dot 1 by the open left hand, trace up the arm and puff sleeve, then down to the pointed fairy slipper below. Keep the small curve of the shoe tip neat.
Fun fact!
Costume fairy slippers curl to a point at the toe, a shape borrowed from old storybook illustrations.

16–28 — Legs and Second Slipper
Follow dots 16 through 28 down one leg, across to the second pointed slipper, and back up the other leg. Check each number as you cross the middle.
Fun fact!
Balancing on tiptoe is harder than it looks: your ankles make dozens of tiny corrections every second to stop you wobbling.

29–40 — Petal Skirt and Flower
Connect dots 29 through 40 around the scalloped petal hem of the skirt and the large flower on the hip, then start up toward the right arm. Slow down around the flower petals.
Fun fact!
Many fairy costumes use a petal-shaped skirt because flowers and fairies appear together in a lot of garden folklore.

41–53 — Star Wand and Right Arm
Trace dots 41 through 53 up the right arm and around the five points of the star at the tip of the wand. Turn carefully at each point of the star.
Fun fact!
A five-pointed star can be drawn without lifting your pencil, which is why it shows up on so many wands and badges.

54–77 — Hair, Headband Bow, and Wings
Finish with dots 54 through 77 around the hair and the little bow on top of the headband, then out along the shimmery wings and back to dot 77 by the hand.
Fun fact!
Insect and fairy wings are held out from the body by thin veins, the same way an umbrella's ribs hold its fabric open.

Every notable stretch of the path, dot by dot.

|---|---|---|
| 23 | Curved | These dots curve along the left side of the dress skirt, near the fairy's outstretched left hand. Keep the line soft. |
| 1517 | Zigzag | The measured zigzag traces the outline and bow of the left slipper, below the skirt. Find dots 15, 16 and 17 in order — the bow changes direction sharply. |

| 4547 | Curved | This curve runs up the wand shaft toward the star, upper right. Check dot 47 before the wider gap. |
| 5657 | Sharp turns | The measured sharp turn is the point of the bow on the headband, at the top of the head. Find dots 56 and 57 first, then check dot 58. |
