My daughter adores dab a dot painting printables. In fact, she even uses her dot markers on "regular" coloring pages. If your little one loves do a dot markers, be sure to check out these additional free printable do a dot pages.

My daughter is very inquisitive and wants to know the "why" of everything. She was immediately curious when I told her that some of her favorite uncle's family doesn't celebrate Christmas, and they celebrate something called Hanukkah.
I created these dab it marker pages to help explain Hanukkah to her. However you use the pages, I hope they're helpful for your family, too.
There are many children's books about Hanukkah that explain the holiday and its traditions, but one of my favorite is a newer book called The Ninth Night of Hanukkah.
This book shares the story of a family who just moved into a new apartment and doesn't have their menorah (or other Hanukkah materials) unpacked yet. The children improvise, get help from neighbors, and adapt to a new, challenging situation.
At the end of the story, they decide to add a ninth night to celebrate and thank their helpful neighbors and new friendships. (They name this new celebration Shamash Night in honor of the shamash "helper" candle.)

How to use dot marker pages
These pages were based on the measurement of my daughter's Classic Do a Dot Markers. The circles are perfectly sized for this line of markers, but they also work fine with other dauber style markers.
A reader recently emailed to ask where we found our markers. This is the exact set we have. According to Amazon, I ordered them on May 19, 2019. We’ve been using them ever since and they’re still working fine.
It's best to store your markers on their sides (with lids tightly closed!) to keep the dauber foam coated with ink. We do sometimes have to pounce markers a few times to get ink flowing, but there is still plenty of ink left in the tube after more than two years of use.
For a no-mess activity, use these dot printables with colorful round label stickers. This makes a great quiet time activity for car rides, plane trips, and doctor's offices. Make sure to get ⅝" or ¾" round stickers - 1" round stickers are too big for the circles on the printables.
We use this set of coding label stickers. You get literally thousands of them for just a few dollars:
Another fun way to play is with small manipulatives like pompoms or big buttons. We use this set of wool pom poms, shown below with a count and graph sheet.

I love your hanukkah dot pages, but it won't let me get them. When I put my name and email, it says internal error. Is there a way for me to get them? Thanx
Jenni
I went to print the dot Hanukkah printables and realized that the menorah is not a Hanukkah menorah! A Hannukiah has 4 candles on each side, your menorah is a temple menorah with 3 candles on each side. You might want to change that... thanks!

Hello! I completely understand your concern. Unfortunately, I am constrained by clipart I can find that's available with an appropriate license that allows me to use it this way. So far I haven't found something appropriate that's sized well for dot marker pages and permitted for use with coloring pages. If/when different clipart sets become available with something better, I will update the file.
