My daughter has always loved fish and the ocean. If your little learner loves sea life, too, be sure to check out this post with toddler-approved books about the ocean for toddlers and preschoolers.
We have lots of books about animals and fish. If you're looking for new books about ocean life, I recommend pretty much anything by DK, Eyewitness, or National Geographic. These books have large, colorful photographs and dependable information.
Benefits of coloring with dot markers
Dauber marker coloring pages are an easy, no-prep activity. They've become increasingly popular, too. (I recently saw some at the Target Dollar Spot!) But are they developmentally appropriate and beneficial for your child's development?
Yes, they are! Thank goodness. A child's activity that's fun, inexpensive, easy, and beneficial. They can help your child develop and strengthen their:
- Hand-eye coordination
- Grip strength
- Finger strength
- Manual dexterity
- Creativity and artistic expression
Providing your child with plenty of opportunities to practice fine motor skills helps them prepare to tie, button, zip, lace, and snap their own clothing. It also prepares them for writing.
How to use dauber marker printables
These cute ocean animal dab it pages will delight your little learner. There are 11 page with popular favorites to color including:
- Shark
- Dolphin
- Cute fish
- Whale
- Octopus
- Angelfish
- Clam shell
- Lobster
- Crab
- Clownfish
- Stingray
The circles on these pages are based on the diameter of my daughter's Classic Do a Dot Markers. The circles are sized for this brand of markers, but they also work with other dauber or bingo style markers.
We've been using the same set of rainbow Do a Dot markers for two years at the time of writing. The ink in them seems to last forever! They can be a little spotty when they're first used for the day.
Make sure to always store dab it markers on their sides, not upright, and pounce a few times to get ink flowing (as needed). This is actually good advice for pretty much any marker. Store your markers on their sides, not end up in a pen cup.
You can make the pages reusable. Have your child cover the circles with pompoms, big buttons, or another small item. You can also use edible items like o-style cereal, fish crackers, etc.
Traditional plastic bingo chips work for reusable 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 getting plastic counting chips.
