For thousands of years, the camel made life in the desert possible — carrying goods across dunes no wheeled cart could cross, providing milk, wool, and transport to Bedouin communities long before roads and air conditioning changed everything. Camels are still bred and raced across the UAE today, and camel milk shows up in everything from lattes to chocolate bars. This 105-dot puzzle is longer than most of our other sheets, so it's a nice next step once a child has a few easier puzzles under their belt. Find dot 1 and take it one hump at a time.
1–21 — The Head and Neck
Start at dot 1 and work through to dot 21 to draw the long, curving neck and alert head. Camels hold their necks in a distinctive S-curve, so encourage kids to let the line rise and fall naturally rather than forcing it straight. This is a big first stretch, so a short break afterward is fair.
Fun fact!
Camels have three eyelids and two rows of long eyelashes, all working together to keep sand out of their eyes during a storm. They can also close their nostrils completely — a feature no other pack animal has quite like it.

22–42 — The First Hump
Continue from dot 22 to dot 42 to shape the tall, rounded first hump. This is a satisfying curve to draw — encourage a single smooth stroke rather than several small ones, since choppy lines tend to flatten the hump's shape.
Fun fact!
The dromedary, or one-humped camel, is the type found throughout the UAE and the wider Arabian Peninsula. The two-humped Bactrian camel is a different species, native to Central Asia rather than the Gulf. org/wiki/Dromedary" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Wikipedia's dromedary camel entry</a>.

43–63 — The Back Line
Trace dots 43 through 63 to complete the back line, including the dip after the hump. Getting the dip right — not too deep, not too flat — is what makes the silhouette read as a camel rather than just a lumpy line. Take this section slowly.
Fun fact!
A fully grown camel can drink around 40 gallons of water in just a few minutes once it finally reaches a water source — replacing in one sitting what it lost over days of travel.

64–84 — The Legs
Connect dots 64 to 84 to draw the four long, sturdy legs. This section has more direction changes than the earlier ones, so it's a good spot to slow down and double-check each dot number before drawing the next line.
Fun fact!
Camels walk by moving both legs on the same side of their body at once, a gait called pacing. org/wiki/Camel_racing" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Wikipedia's camel racing entry</a>.

85–105 — The Feet and Tail
Finish the puzzle by connecting dots 85 through 105 to add the broad feet and the tail. Twenty-one dots left — a strong finish here really grounds the whole drawing, so encourage a steady hand right to the very last dot.
Fun fact!
A camel's feet spread out as it steps down, distributing its weight so it doesn't sink into soft sand — much like a snowshoe does on snow. It's one of several features that make the camel so well suited to desert travel.
