About this resource

These dot painting activities are the perfect fun and engaging activity for students to practise counting to 100. These pages make an excellent addition to any 100th day celebration as a station rotation or independent art activity.

What is Included:

  • * 1 dot painting page for students to dot 100 dots

  • * 1 dot painting page for students to dot in groups of 10

How to Use:

Students will use cotton buds and paint to count to 100 by putting 100 dots on each page. The first page has dots for students to fill in and the other has students dot groups of 10 to make 100 dots. One can also fill the groups of tens page with small objects instead of dot painting the groups. The 100 dots page can also be used with stickers or dot markers to fill in each of the 100 dots.

When to Use:

  • * 100th Day Celebration activity or station

  • * Art Centre Activity

  • * Fine Motor Activity

  • * Independent Activity

  • * Homework

If used for homework, students will take home the count to 100 by 10s page and fill each section with a different small object. When they bring it back to class, they can share about what they chose in each section with their classmates.


Skills Assessed

  • * Counting to 100 by 1s

  • * Counting to 100 by 10s

  • * One to One Correspondence

The dot painting pages are no prep. They simply need to be printed off and handed to students. Each student will need paint and a cotton bud to complete each page. If the teacher wishes to use one of the alternative methods to complete each page, then those materials will also need to be provided to students.
