Connect the dots, also known as dot to dot or join the dots is a puzzle containing a sequence of numbered dots. When a line is drawn connecting the dots the outline of an object is revealed. The puzzles often contain simple line art to enhance the image created or to assist in rendering a complex section of the image. Connect the dots puzzles are generally created for children. The use of numbers can be replaced with letters or other symbols.

The phrase "connect the dots" is sometimes used as a metaphor to illustrate a person's ability (or inability) to associate one idea with another.

Reuven Feuerstein features the connection of dots as the first tool in his cognitive development program.
