Dot marker pages are beneficial for your child and a super easy activity for any time you need something low-prep to keep your little one occupied.

Just print these pages and hand them over with your child's favorite dauber style markers. Or, better yet, do like I do and have a folder of them printed and ready for anytime they're needed.

Are dab a dot coloring pages developmental?
Do a dot marker pages are an easy, no-prep activity. But are they developmentally appropriate and beneficial?
Yes!
Do a dot coloring pages help your child develop skills including:
- hand-eye coordination
- grip strength
- finger strength
- manual dexterity
These benefits come from both dauber markers and stickers.
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, fastening buttons, drawing, and writing.
These dot marker pages are an easy way to keep your child busy, happy, and practicing important skills. They can be used as part of a planned lesson or any time you need a few minutes without turning on YouTube. (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.
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. We use these stickers. You can see them in action below in this photo of my daughter using an Easter do a dot printable:
For an even greater challenge, have your child cover the circles with pompoms or big buttons. We love this set of wool pom poms shown below with our winter activity printables:
