It’s almost time to ring in a new year. I don’t know about you, but I have no desire to start the new year with a day of meltdowns, so we try to maintain the kids’ bedtimes while still including them in some of the festivities. This dot painting worksheet is a great New Year’s activity for kids.
GETTING STARTED

I love how quickly you can set your kids up with dot painting worksheets. There’s minimal prep required to get started.
Download and print this 2018 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.
