Ready-set-GO! If you are in search of dab-a-dot/do-a-dot printables you will want to check out this list full of this awesome fine motor activity for little ones.
It is no wonder that dab-a-dot activities (this what we call them in my family, I know others use “do-a-dot”) are so popular in homeschools for little ones.
Bingo dabbers, daubers, dobbers, bingo markers, dot markers, or dot paints are all used to describe these useful tools. No matter what you call them, they are super useful when teaching little ones.
We call them dot markers in our homeschool, so I am rolling with that. Dab-a-dot and dot markers, here we go.
Here is why I am a fan of these dot markers and yes, even with my older kids (14 and 10 years of age) we still use them in many ways.
They are way less messy than paint. There comes the time when you don’t feel like cleaning up paint or collecting broken crayons. You want a nice neat way for kids to create in a fun way. Dab-a-dot is perfect for those days.
They literally seem to last forever. We have some dab-a-dots that I KNOW we have had for years. When you homeschool and have writing utensils, trust me this is a commodity.
For little ones, dab-a-dots provide great practice for hand-eye coordination and develop fine motor skills. Just direct the marker and aim.
This dot activity seems simple, yet it is a much needed foundational skill for writing. It even is a foundational skill that will eventually help with playing instruments or playing sports.
And finally, if using them with printables, dab-a-dots require very little prep work. I honestly, should have added this at the beginning. I would have had you at “no prep,” I just know it.
And one more thing, If you don’t have dab-a-dot markers you know what? YOU may not even need them? Many printables only require paint you may already have at home and Q-Tips – which you probably also have at home.
