Download and print this 2017 dot painting worksheet on regular 8 1/2 x 11″ paper.

We used Do A Dot Art! Markers to fill in our dots, but there are lots of ways you can fill in the dots. You can use bingo daubers, stickers, or pom poms as well. You can turn a clothespin and pom pom into DIY pom pom dot maker.

BENEFITS OF DOT PAINTING

Besides being mess free and easy to set up, dot painting also helps kids develop hand-eye coordination as they direct their marker to the spot on their paper. Kids strengthen fine motor skills as they hold the dot markers and move their hands to apply the marker to the paper.

Do A Dot Art Markers, are especially great for little ones. They are chunky, making it easier for their little hands to easily grab and manipulate.
