Are dab it dot marker coloring pages educational for my child?
Dauber marker coloring pages are an easy, no-prep activity. But are they developmentally appropriate and beneficial for your child’s development? Yes, they are! Finally something that’s fun, easy, and beneficial. They can help your child develop:
Hand-eye coordination Grip strength Finger strength Manual dexterity Creativity and artistic expression
Providing your child with plenty of opportunities to practice fine motor skills helps them prepare to (eventually) tie, button, zip, lace, and snap their own clothes. Won’t that be nice?
How to use dauber marker printables
These cute Mother’s Day dab it pages will delight your little learner. They’re show both human children and cute animal moms and babies. The circles on these pages are based on the size of my daughter’s Classic Do a Dot Markers. The circles are sized for this brand of markers, but they also work with other dauber or bingo style markers. We’ve been using the same set of markers for almost two years at the time of writing. The ink in them apparently lasts forever! However, they can be a little spotty when they’re first used for the day. Make sure to always store dab it markers on their sides, not upright, and pounce a few times to get ink flowing (as 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, they just don’t perfectly fill the circles. You can also use edible items like o-style cereal, fish crackers, etc. Of course, traditional plastic bingo chips work, too. They’re also great for ten frame printables! Make sure your child is past putting things in their mouth (and doesn’t have a younger sibling around who could access them) before you introduce plastic counting chips. For an easy, no-mess activity on the go, use these 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. Make sure to get ⅝″ or ¾″ round stickers, not 1" stickers. One inch round stickers are too big for these pages. We use these stickers. You get thousands of them for just a few dollars. Below you can see my daughter (3) using round stickers with an Easter do a dot printable:
