Benefits of dot marker printables
Dot worksheets can help your child develop important skills like hand-eye coordination, grip strength, finger strength, manual dexterity, and their fine motor skills.
More than ever before, children are entering school with poor fine motor skills and low manual dexterity. Researchers posit this is because of an increase in screen time and decrease in time for other, more “traditional” activities. A study found that preschooler’s manual dexterity was inversely related to their screen time. In other words, the more screen time the preschooler had, on average, the worse their manual dexterity was.
These fall do a dot marker printables are an easy way to keep your toddler or preschooler’s development on track – and they’ll have fun, too!

My daughter loves using these printables with her Classic Do a Dot Markers. I keep a close eye on her while she’s using them to make sure she doesn’t try to place the cap in her mouth (she’s still under 3), but allowing her to open and close the cap provides extra fine motor practice
Dot markers are pretty low mess, but toddlers can figure out how to make almost anything messy. For a guaranteed low-mess activity, pair these dot printables with colorful round label stickers. This makes a great road trip activity or easy activity for a doctor’s office waiting room. Make sure to get 5/8″ or 3/4″ round stickers – 1″ round stickers will be too big for these printables.
- Bright and colorful Neon Color-Coding Labels with a variety of uses. Easily write on them with pen, pencil, marker or even crayon!
- Use in the classroom or organize DVD's or books. Perfect for yard sales to create your own pricing.
- 2,100 colorful neon color coding dots. 0.75" round stickers. Stick to all surfaces, even clothing! Easily removable.
To challenge your child’s fine motor skills even more, use these dot marker printables with small manipulatives like pompoms or buttons. They can place the pompoms with their hands or you can have your child use bamboo tongs, plastic tweezers, or small silicone tipped tongs to transfer the pompoms from a bowl onto the mat.
Mom hack: use pliers to pry open the keeper bar on silicone tongs so it doesn’t slide down and frustrate your little learner by holding the tongs closed.
Laminate your printables to make them reusable with stickers and manipulatives.
