Morsomt faktum: Seesaws are sometimes called 'teeter-totters' in American English — both names describe the same simple up-and-down motion that's kept kids entertained for generations.

Seesaw Playground Prikk-til-prikk-puslespillguide

There's a small bit of teamwork built right into the seesaw — it only works if both riders play along, pushing off and rising in turn. This 68-dot puzzle draws that back-and-forth balance from the ground up, plank first, riders last. It's a nice step up in length from our easiest playground sheet without tipping into expert territory. Find dot 1 and let's get this thing balanced.

1–14 — The Fulcrum

Start at dot 1 and connect through to dot 14 to draw the sturdy central support that the whole seesaw balances on. These lines are short and angled, giving children practice building a solid base shape before anything else gets added on top.

Morsomt faktum!
The central support of a seesaw is called a fulcrum — the same word engineers use for the pivot point of any lever. A seesaw is technically one of the simplest machines there is: a lever balanced on a fixed point.

15–28 — The Plank

Continue from dot 15 to dot 28 to draw the long plank that rests across the fulcrum. Children practise drawing one continuous, gently sloped line — good preparation for steady hand control on longer strokes.

Morsomt faktum!
Older seesaws were often built from a single wooden plank, which is exactly where the ride gets its name — 'see' and 'saw' echo the back-and-forth motion of an old two-person saw being pulled across a log.

29–42 — The Handles

Trace dots 29 through 42 to add the handles at each end of the plank. This section has children working on both sides of the puzzle in turn, practising symmetry as they build a matching shape at each end.

Morsomt faktum!
Handles weren't always standard on seesaw designs. Early playground versions had riders grip the plank itself, which is part of why modern safety standards now call for dedicated hand grips on either end.

43–56 — The First Rider

Connect dots 43 to 56 to draw the child sitting on the raised end of the seesaw. This is where the scene starts to feel alive — remind children to look ahead to the next dot before lifting their pencil so the figure comes out smooth.

Morsomt faktum!
Riding a seesaw is a genuinely useful balance exercise. Shifting your weight to stay upright as the plank tips activates the same core muscles and inner-ear balance system used in gymnastics and dance.

57–68 — The Second Rider and Ground

Finish by connecting dots 57 through 68 to draw the second child on the lowered end and the ground beneath the seesaw. Just twelve dots left — a careful, confident finish here completes the whole scene.

Morsomt faktum!
Some modern playgrounds have replaced the traditional two-rider seesaw with spring-mounted versions that let one child rock alone, though the classic pivoting two-seater is still the most common design worldwide.

Nicely done — your seesaw is perfectly balanced! Colour in the two riders with your favourite outfits, or add a playground full of friends waiting for their turn. Curious what's under the sea instead of the sun? Dive into our ocean dot to dot printables next.
