Are dab it dot marker coloring pages beneficial?
Dab it pages are an easy, no-prep activity. But are they developmentally appropriate and beneficial for your child’s development? Yes, they are! Thank goodness - finally something that’s easy about parenting. Dab it marker pages are easy, fun, and help your child develop important skills. They can help your child develop:
Hand-eye coordinationGrip strengthFinger strengthManual dexterity
Providing you child with chances to practice their fine motor skills helps them develop the skills they’ll need in order to tie their own shoes, zip zippers, use buttons, write, and finally cut their own food. (I’m looking forward to that day - aren’t you?)
How to use dot marker printables
The circles on these pages are based on the size of my daughter’s Classic Do a Dot Markers. The circles are perfectly sized for this brand of markers, but they also work fine with other dauber or bingo style markers.
I’ve had readers ask what markers we use. These are the exact markers we’ve been using for almost two years at the time of writing. We use them a lot and they’re still working fine. The ink in these things seems to last forever. However, they can be a little spotty when they’re first used for the day. Make sure to store dab it markers on their sides, not upright, and pounce a few times to get ink flowing (if needed).
To make the pages reusable, have your child cover the circles with pompoms or big buttons. Math manipulatives like unifix cubes and counting bears work, too. For more finger strengthening fine motor fun. We frequently use these wool felt balls:
For an easy, no-mess activity, use these dragon dot it printables printables with round coding label stickers. This is a great activity for car trips, doctor’s appointments, and any time when you just don’t feel like having yet another pair of pants stained with marker.
Coding label stickers are very inexpensive. They’re also great fine motor practice - peeling them off the page is tricky for little fingers and placing them requires precision.
Make sure to pick ⅝″ or ¾″ round stickers for these dot marker printables. One inch round stickers are too big for these pages. We use these stickers. You get literally thousands of them for just a few dollars. The set we purchased also comes with a reusable zip pouch to keep them contained. It’s a great deal. You can see the stickers in action below in this photo of my daughter using an Easter do a dot printable:
