My daughter loves dab a dot coloring pages. If your little one loves do a dot markers, too, be sure to check out these additional free printable do a dot pages.
Dot marker pages are both beneficial for your child and an incredibly easy activity for any time you need something low-prep to keep your little one occupied.
When your child uses round coding stickers instead of dot markers, they're also a completely mess-free activity for traveling, waiting for appointments, and days when you just don't feel like scrubbing marker off little hands.

Are dab a dot coloring pages educational?
Do a dot marker pages are an easy, no-prep activity. But are they developmentally appropriate and beneficial?
Yes!
Do a dot worksheets help your child develop skills like their hand-eye coordination, grip strength, finger strength, manual dexterity, and fine motor skills.
Providing you child with plenty of opportunities to practice their fine motor skills can help prepare your child for things like tying their own shoes, drawing, and writing.
Unfortunately, educators are increasingly noticing children entering school with poor fine motor skills.
Researchers suggest this is because of increased screen time and decreased time for non-screen activities and playing with classic, low-tech toys. One study found that preschooler’s manual dexterity was inversely related to their screen time.
In other words, the more screen time the preschooler received, the worse their manual dexterity was. Screen time is also associated with behavioral problems in preschoolers.
These dot marker pages are an easy way to keep your child busy, happy, and practicing vital skills. (The photo below is my daughter enthusiastically coloring her spring do a dot pages.)
How to use dot marker printables
These pages were based on the measurement 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.
2024 update:
We've used classic Do a Dot markers for years, but I think my loyalties have shifted to Doodle Hog markers. They're now our favorite dot markers.
Doodle Hog markers are easier for little kids to grasp and they have a couple of small ridges on the cap that make it easier for little fingers to open and close the markers. At the time of writing, they're also a better per unit price than the Do a Dot brand.

For an easy, no-mess activity, use these dot printables with round label stickers. Stickers add even more fine motor practice - peeling the stickers off of the page is a challenge for little fingers.
Make sure to get ⅝″ or ¾″ round stickers – 1″ round stickers are too big for the circles on the printables.
For an even greater challenge, have your child cover the circles with pompoms or big buttons. We’ve been using this set of wool pom poms with our winter activity printables:
