How to Solve the Glider Dot-to-Dot Puzzle
This quiet glider is riding the wind high above the clouds! The 67-dot challenge is divided into five easy stages, perfect for young puzzlers. Find dot 1 and catch the breeze!
1–14 — The Nose and Cockpit
Connect dots 1 through 14 to draw the smooth, narrow nose and cockpit up front.
Fun fact!
The pilot sits in a snug cockpit with a clear canopy, giving a wide view of the sky in every direction.

15–28 — The Long, Slender Wings
Continue from dot 15 to dot 28 to shape the glider's long, slim wings.
Fun fact!
A glider's wings are much longer and thinner than an airplane's, which helps it catch rising air and fly farther without an engine.

29–42 — The Slim Fuselage
Follow dots 29 through 42 along the slender body connecting the wings to the tail.
Fun fact!
Gliders are built as light and streamlined as possible, since every bit of extra weight makes it harder to stay in the air.

43–55 — The Tail Fin
Trace dots 43 through 55 to add the tall tail fin at the back of the glider.
Fun fact!
The tail fin keeps the glider flying straight and steady as it rides the wind currents.
