Do A Dot Worksheets

If you need some quick, no-prep activities to supplement your summer fun, these printables are great. All you need are some dot markers and you’re set! Do them with toddlers, preschoolers, pre-k, and kindergarten children.

Inside this summer dot marker pack, we’ve loaded it with over 20 pages of fun that have a variety of uses.

First up, are the coloring pages. There are 7 dot marker coloring pages that come in full color or black and white.

These coloring pages include:

• watermelon coloring page

• pineapple coloring page
• sand castle coloring page
• dolphin coloring page
• crab coloring page
• fish coloring page

Once the kids have finished those, move on to some letter recognition printables. We have four of these in the set that includes the letter B, C, P, and S.

Kids use the dot marker to mark each circle that has either an uppercase or lowercase letter that matches.

It’s a great way to help reinforce the alphabet!

Finally, we’ve also included some other dot marker worksheets that work on:

• fine motor and scissor skills
• counting (numbers 1-6)
• patterns

These are great for the older kids who are ready for a little more challenge.

How To Use Dot Marker Printables

Did you know there’s more than one way to use these worksheets?

Of course, kids love using dot markers, but if they want to mix things up a bit, there are other ways to use these printables.

To make these summer pages reusable, laminate them or slip them into a page protector and use them with dry-erase markers.

Instead of having the kids dot each page, they can fill them in with color or use an “X” with the letter recognition and skill worksheets.

Do your kids want a more hands-on approach?

Try a manipulative for the kids to fill in the bubbles!

A few ideas that will work for these worksheets include:

• buttons
• pom poms
• cereal
• dried beans (make sure they have supervision and do not put things in their mouth if you use this option)
• gummy bears

There are so many ways to make these summer worksheets even more fun!

Summer Unit Study

It’s already summertime, and that means it’s time to start planning some fun activities for the kids! There are so many great crafts, activities, and printables available to help kids learn and stay engaged this summer.

See how easy it is to create a summer unit study for kids. This way they can learn about a variety of topics while still having fun!

Kids’ Books About Summer

Reading aloud to children is a great way to help them learn to read. When children hear stories read aloud, they can learn new words and improve their reading skills. Reading aloud also helps children develop a love of reading. When children are read to on a regular basis, they may also become more likely to become lifelong readers!

Start off your unit study with these fun summer kids’ books:

How To Catch A Mermaid is the summer version of the classic “How To Catch” series! It’s perfect for mermaid fans and summer lovers alike!

Gorilla Loves Vanilla is all about, you guessed it – ice cream! This silly book will have kids laughing and asking for you to read it again and again.

Goodnight Pirate is a fun bedtime book to read to kids all summer long! They’ll love the illustrations, story, and rhyming words.

Summer Kids’ Crafts

Doing crafts is not only a fun activity for kids, but it also has several benefits.

For one, crafting helps to develop fine motor skills. As kids manipulate glue, scissors, and paintbrushes, they strengthen the muscles in their hands and fingers.

In addition, crafting can also improve problem-solving and creative thinking skills. This process requires them to think outside the box and exercise their imaginations.

Lastly, crafting is also a great way for kids to express themselves. Through art, they can explore their emotions and communicate their thoughts and feelings in a healthy and constructive way!
