Are dot marker coloring pages beneficial 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, dot marker pages are a developmentally appropriate activity for toddlers and preschoolers! They can also benefit older children who need extra practice with their fine motor skills. Dot marker pages help your child practice:
- Hand-eye coordination
- Grip strength
- Finger strength
- Manual dexterity
- Creativity and artistic expression
Giving your child lots of opportunities to practice fine motor skills helps them prepare to button, snap, zip, and tie their own clothing.
It also prepares them for writing and other fine motor tasks.
Exposure helps preschoolers eat vegetables
These grocery store themed coloring pages include many fruits and vegetables.
Researchers have found that familiarization through picture books helps preschoolers eat vegetables.
Similar studies have been conducted several times demonstrating that visual exposure improve toddlers' willingness to try fruits and veggies (source) and that reading about unfamiliar vegetables increased acceptance of them (source).
Grab your free printable coloring pages, a couple positive books about vegetables for preschoolers, and get ready to reduce mealtime struggles!
How to use dauber marker coloring pages
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 popular brand of markers, but they also work with other dauber or bingo style markers.
To keep your dauber markers dotting well, make sure you always store them 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.
If you laminate the pages or use page protectors, they can also cover circles with balls of play dough. You can also use edible items like o-style cereal, fish crackers, etc.
Traditional plastic bingo chips work for reusing dot marker pages, too.
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. These are the bingo chips we use:
- Health Care and Sanitary: Made from original PVC granules, high transparency and durability are preserved during the process of production. Ensure...
- Mega Bundle: 500 PCS in total, no need to worry even you lose some, a real bargain that you wouldn’t miss.
- Multiple Color: 8 colors could afford multiple using scenarios or classification needs. With different colors you have more ways to demonstrate or...
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.

Coding label stickers come in several sizes. 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 literally thousands of them for just a few dollars. The listing also came with a zipping bag to store the stickers in.
Below you can see my daughter using round stickers with an Easter do a dot printable:
