Dot paper

A dot grid for drawing, planning and journaling, and for the dots and boxes game.

1 A4 page

Free, with no sign-up. Print again whenever you need.

Tip: in the print window choose "Actual size" (100%) so the spacing is exact. The page is A4; on US Letter paper, choose "Fit to page" if exact spacing does not matter.

Dot paper sits between a blank page and a grid: the dots help keep lines straight but do not get in the way of a drawing. It is especially popular for bullet journals, sketching and geometry.

On the 1 cm grid you can play the classic game of dots and boxes. Players take turns joining two neighboring dots with a line. Whoever closes a box writes their initial in it and plays again.
