Gambling Polka Dot Blues

For as long as I can remember, I have loved dot-to-dots.  Today, waiting in line at CVS, I saw this beside the check-out counter:

Granted, this isn't like the dot-to-dots of my childhood,

as I don't recall any circus animals or frogs sitting on lily pads having 434 dots.

Another childhood favorite was trace-and-draw coloring books.  Does anyone else remember them?  They were coloring books that had pieces of onionskin paper between pages so you could trace the designs.  Crazy for those, and they may well have gone the way of the dinosaurs.

I remember both those types coloring books. I also remember the watercolor ones where you just painted with water and the color appeared. I was also a big fan of dot to dot books. I had no idea they were still a thing. It looks like fun.
