With the black and white worksheets, they can use their dot markers and then color the rest of the page however they would like.
If you choose to print the color version try laminating them for endless fun. We usually pick up some manipulatives to help kids with their fine motor skills of picking up and placing the objects in the circles.
Some great object ideas are bingo chips, pom poms, dot stickers, or small pieces of cereal. Doing things like this really helps strengthen those small muscles in the hand.
If you want to get really creative then you can grab a pair of kids’ tweezers and have your kids pick up the objects with tongs and place them within each circle. We guarantee kids will love doing this!

Kids have so much fun cutting out the lines that they don’t even realize that they are working hard to develop their fine motor skills.
