Is it a helicopter?!” I hope your child loves these vehicle dab it marker printables as much as mine does! In order to satisfy your vehicle loving child, this set of 11 dot marker pages (commonly called “do a dot coloring pages for the popular Do a Dot marker brand) contains trucks, busses, a ship, an airplane, and even a helicopter.

Are dauber 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?
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 several readers ask what markers we use. These are the exact markers we’ve been using for more than two years at the time of writing. We use them a lot and they’re still working fine.
Dot markers 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, they just don’t cover the circles as perfectly. For more finger strengthening fine motor fun. We like to use these wool felt balls:
For an easy, no-mess activity, use these vehicle 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 super affordable and can save you serious time and money. (They’re way cheaper and easier than repainting the walls in a rental house, for example…)
Stickers are also great fine motor practice - peeling them off the page is tricky for little fingers and placing them requires precision.
Make sure to get ⅝″ or ¾″ round stickers for these dot marker page. 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.
