Do A Dots are a great activity for kids to work on opening and closing the do a dot marker independently (twisting), as well as applying the correct amount of pressure so the marker doesn't leak through the paper! Additionally, cotton bud art is another great fine motor, as well as visual perceptual skill! A perfect activity for kids to work on grasp, bilateral coordination and so much more!

This interactive activity addresses so many developmental skills including bilateral hand coordination, fine motor skills, visual perceptual skills, motor planning, and so much more! This is a favourite activity of many toddlers and Pre-school children! Additionally, this is a great activity for children on the autism spectrum. It can be used at home, in the classroom, in a therapy setting, ABA setting, or anywhere!

This activity is easily adapted to meet the needs of the kiddos and addressed skills like opening and closing a containers, pressure applied, etc... Furthermore, this activity can be done sitting at a desk, prone on the floor, or even prone on a scooter to incorporate movement!

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Teaching tips

  • Cotton buds and paint are needed; the activity-ideas page offers finger paint or paint sticks as alternatives.

  • Writing letters, numbers or shapes into the circles, as the ideas page suggests, turns each page into a find-and-dot recognition task.
