What are dab it marker coloring pages?
Dab it marker coloring pages, also called dot marker pages or “Do a Dot pages” after the popular Do a Dot marker brand, are coloring sheets with blank circles on the image. Your child, or student, uses a bingo-style dauber marker to fill in the circle. Your child can also use manipulates, like pompoms, or round stickers to cover the circles.
How use dot marker coloring 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 pretty similar in size. Make sure to print at 100% to ensure the circles are the correct size. You can also use these dot it printables printables with round coding label stickers. Round coding label stickers are inexpensive and and kids love them. Make sure to get ⅝″ or ¾″ round stickers. One inch round stickers are too big for these pages. One inch stickers are less common - most of the stickers you find are a usable size, but double check to avoid surprises. We use these stickers. You get thousands of them for just a few dollars. No markers means less of your time spent scrubbing little hands, walls, and tables. They also give your child fine motor practice because peeling and positioning stickers is great for little fingers. The picture below shows my daughter using round stickers with these Easter dot marker pages.
To make your dot marker pages reusable, have your child cover the circles with pompoms, felt balls, or big buttons. For an extra fine motor challenge, have your child place the manipulative with a pair of tongs. Bamboo toast tongs work well and are usually inexpensive.
