Kids from ages 1-5 adore dot marker coloring pages. They’re completely no-prep for you, so they’re a win-win. They are also developmentally appropriate and beneficial for kids because they can help your child improve their fine motor skills, hand eye coordination, finger strength, and more.
What are dauber marker coloring pages?
Dab it marker coloring pages, also called “Do a Dot pages” after the popular Do a Dot marker brand, are pages in color or black and white with blank circles on the image. Your child, or student, uses a bingo-style dauber marker or manipulative to fill in the circle. Manipulatives, like pompoms, counting chips, or round stickers can also be used to cover the circles. I love having my daughter use stickers (and she loves it, too) because they’re mess free and car ride friendly.
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. Make sure to print at 100% to ensure the circles are the correct size. Check the listing to make sure to get ⅝″ or ¾″ round stickers. One inch 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. No markers means less of your time spent scrubbing little hands, walls, and tables. They also give your child wonderful fine motor practice because peeling and positioning stickers is tricky for little fingers. In the photo below, you can see my daughter (she’s proud to be four and a half) using one of her mythical animal coloring pages with dot stickers:
