The following dot painting pages are included in this set:

arctic fox, arctic hare, moose, narwhal, penguin, polar bear, seal, snowy owl, walrus

When to Use these Dot Painting Pages

• Art Centre or a Fine Motor Centre - Simply place the pages inside the centre with paints of various colours and cotton buds for students to complete.

• Craft Activity - These dot painting pages also make a great whole class art activity where each student paints at their own desk their chosen dot art picture.

• Early Finishers - When students finish their work, they can complete this dot painting activity while waiting on their classmates to finish their assignments.

• Quiet Time Activity - Students who have trouble napping can complete one of these dot painting pages while their classmates nap.

• Displays - These dot painting pictures can be displayed on classroom display boards, doors, or corridors.

All of these dot painting pages are no prep. They just need to be printed and given to students to decorate. The teacher will simply need to provide paints of various colours and cotton buds.

An alternative to using cotton buds and paint is to have students decorate their pictures with dots of coloured glue. Older students may want to try creating their pictures this way for a more tactile way to complete this art activity.
