So, there’s an extension under Visualize Path->Number Nodes… that will take any path and convert the nodes to numbered dots. You can change the text and dot size.

With an appropriately simple path (Path->simplify might help you here), you can quickly go from the path on the left to the CTD on the right:

You could use it to make some pretty durable “sewing cards” for toddlers.
