Are dot dot marker coloring sheets beneficial for preschoolers?
Kids all love dot marker pages, but are they developmentally appropriate? Yes! Dot marker pages are easy and no-prep for you, plus they’re fun and developmentally appropriate for children. Thank goodness - finally something that’s cheap, easy, and educational. Dot marker pages are most popular with the 1-5 age range, but therapists even use dauber marker pages to help older children (and adults!) who need help with coordination and finger strength. Sometimes people wonder if 1 year olds can use dot marker pages. In my experience, yes. My daughter was about 16 months old when she first used a dot marker on a coloring page I created. I was shocked to watch her carefully dot exactly in the circle on her first try. Let your little one give it a go - you may be surprised! Dauber marker pages are a simple, inexpensive way to help your child develop important skills including:
hand-eye coordinationgrip strengthfinger strengthconcentrationand manual dexterity
How use dauber/bingo marker pages
The circles on these pages are based on the size of my daughter’s Classic Do a Dot Markers. The circles on your printable are sized for this brand of markers, but they also work with other dauber or bingo style markers because they’re all basically the same size. I have seen some very small markers at the Target Dollar Spot before, but they’re the only ones that probably wouldn’t look great with these pages. These are the exact markers we use. We have been using the same set of markers for more than three years (at the time of writing). They can be a little spotty when they’re first used for the day. If your dot markers are having trouble, make sure to store them on their side, not standing up vertically. Pounce them hard, as needed, to get the ink flowing. I like to use a scrap piece of cardboard from a box. To make the dot marker pages reusable, have your child cover the circles with pompoms, felt balls, or big buttons. If you really want to challenge and strengthen little fingers, have your child place the manipulative with a pair of tongs. Bamboo toast tongs work well and are usually inexpensive. For an easy, no-mess activity, use these dot it printables printables with round coding label stickers. You can get hundreds - even thousands! - for just a few dollars and they will provide lots of quiet, marker-free fun. No markers means less of your time spent scrubbing little hands, walls, tables, clothes, etc. They also provide fine motor practice because peeling and positioning stickers is great for little fingers.
