Malayalam Numerals Dot to Dot Printables

Join ൧, ൨, ൩ to Reveal a Picture

Malayalam numbers dot to dot worksheets are connect-the-dots pictures whose labels are written in Malayalam digits. Start at ൧, draw a line to ൨, then find ൩, and keep going in order until the picture appears. The counting is the same as in a 1, 2, 3 puzzle; only the written shapes of the numbers change.

This English-language page gathers the Malayalam Numerals versions of 48 pictures. Open a card, choose its Malayalam Numerals Version and print. The guidance here is in English; the labels on the printable use Malayalam digits.

The Ten Malayalam Digits

Every label is built from ten digits: ൦, ൧, ൨, ൩, ൪, ൫, ൬, ൭, ൮, ൯. They are encoded in the Unicode Malayalam chart. A comparison strip helps while the shapes are new: ൦ = 0; ൧ = 1; ൨ = 2; ൩ = 3; ൪ = 4; ൫ = 5; ൬ = 6; ൭ = 7; ൮ = 8; ൯ = 9.

Malayalam digits belong to the script used in Kerala. In modern everyday print, 0–9 is far more common, and Malayalam digits are now mostly met in heritage lessons, older books and some calendars. Treat these sheets as an introduction to symbols that many adults may also need to look up.

Digits to Compare Before Starting

Several Malayalam digits resemble Malayalam letters, which can puzzle a child who reads the script. ൧ (1) and ൨ (2) are good examples. Keep the digit strip beside the page and confirm each new symbol before searching for it.

Place Value Works the Same Way

Malayalam digits use the same base-ten place value as 0–9. The label ൨൪ means 24, and ൪൨ means 42. Read the whole label before searching for the next dot; reading only the first digit leads to the wrong place.

Larger pictures cross into three digits. The 104-dot Circus Camel ends at ൧൦൪ and the 106-dot Poppy Flower ends at ൧൦൬. Before starting one, look together at ൯൯, ൧൦൦ and ൧൦൧.

Choosing a Picture

Pictures in this collection run from 43 to 145 dots, so even the shortest trail goes past 20. If a learner knows only the first ten or twenty numbers, connect the opening stretch together and help with the rest.

Shorter trails include Saturn (43 dots, ending at ൪൩), Space Camera (43 dots, ending at ൪൩) and Camellia Flower (45 dots, ending at ൪൫).

For a longer sitting, try Cute Baby Elephant with 50 dots or Crescent Moon with 60 dots or Cute Puppy with 70 dots. Each card also shows a suggested age and difficulty for the drawing itself.

How to Use the Worksheet

Find ൧ and the final label before drawing anything, so the learner knows how far the trail goes. Read a few labels together with the digit strip nearby. A pencil and eraser help while the shapes are new.

Ask the learner to point to the next number before drawing each line. That separates deciding what comes next from finding where it sits on the page. If they stop, ask which number they are looking for before helping. Finish by checking the last few connections, then colour the picture.

One Picture, Two Number Systems

Each Malayalam Numerals puzzle is a label version of an existing number puzzle: the dots and the connection order are the same, only the written digits change. Print the 1, 2, 3 version of the same picture and compare the tenth and twentieth dots on both sheets.

The worksheets practise reading Malayalam digits in order. Number names (ഒന്ന്, രണ്ട്, മൂന്ന്…) need separate practice.

Printing the Free PDF

Open a puzzle, check that Malayalam Numerals Version is selected, and download the PDF for A4 or US Letter. Print at actual size (100%) rather than from a screenshot, and check that labels close together are clear before printing a class set.

About This Guide and Reporting a Problem

The Malayalam Numerals Version replaces each number label with the same number written in Malayalam digits, keeping the picture and connection order. The end labels on this page are calculated from each puzzle's dot count.

This guide was prepared with AI-assisted drafting and editing, and has not yet been reviewed by a native-speaking teacher. Read about the project on our About page and see our editorial policy.
