Are dab it marker coloring pages beneficial for preschoolers and toddlers?

Dauber marker coloring pages are popular, easy, no-prep activity. But are they developmentally appropriate and beneficial for your child’s development?

Yes! Dot marker coloring pages are developmentally appropriate for toddlers and preschoolers! Hooray! Finally there’s an activity that’s inexpensive, easy, and educational.

Dot marker pages aren’t just for tots – older children who need extra practice with fine motor skills can benefit from dot maker pages, too.

Dot marker pages can help your child develop:

  • Hand-eye coordination
  • Grip strength
  • Finger strength
  • Manual dexterity
  • Creativity and artistic expression

Giving you child lots of chances to practice their fine motor skills helps prepare them for writing. Fine motor practice like these dot pages develop their strength and coordination for other important activities, too, such as:

  • tying their own shoes
  • zipping
  • buttoning
  • lacing
  • brushing their teeth

How to use dab it dot 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 dauber markers, but they also work with most other dauber or bingo style markers. I’ve seen reader images using several different brands successfully.

The only markers I’m not sure about are some very small looking ones that are sometimes available at the Target Dollar Spot. I don’t own any, but they appear smaller than most dot markers. These smaller markers would be able to dot on the pages, they just wouldn’t fill the circles.

Store dot markers on their sides, not standing upright. My daughter always wants to set them up on end, but this drains the ink out of the sponge. If your markers are dotting poorly and leaving blank areas, get the ink flowing again by pouncing a few times on a scrap piece of paper or cardboard.

You can make the pages reusable by using plastic bingo chips to cover the circles. Make sure your child isn’t putting things in their mouth anymore before introducing plastic bingo chips. Bingo chips are also great for counting activities like these undersea themed counting mats. These are the bingo chips we use:

For an easy, no-mess activity, use these dot it printables printables with round coding label stickers. This is a fun quiet time activity for car trips, doctor’s appointments, visits with adult friends who don’t have kids, and any time you want hands and clothes to stay clean.

Coding label stickers come in different sizes. Make sure to get 3/4″ or 5/8″ round stickers, not 1″ stickers. One inch round stickers are too big for these pages. We use these stickers. You receive thousands of them for a few dollars. My daughter is using her stickers in the picture below with an Easter dot it printable:
