We have these Dot markers (Linked Dot Markers*). I also printed off some free dot marker letter pages from Supply Me for the kids to practice with.
The kids enjoyed the letter pages, but they were done in a matter of minutes. The asked for more pages to color so I pulled out our large pad of paper (Linked Easel Pad*). The kids continued to color and draw all sorts of things. My daughter actually ended up making a map, with a little help from me. It was fun to see her work through and understand the questions that I was asking to help her get there. She was so proud of her work!
My son colored for a few minutes and would need to take a break before coming back. Here is some of his progress.
The kids had so much fun with these markers. In all they spent close to an hour working on the pictures. I do recommend making sure to have clothing that can get marked on or using smocks (Linked Smock*). I use an old table cloth to protect the table. The Dot Markers that we have, say they are washable, but they do not wash off hands very well at all.
This photo was taken after trying to use a baby wipe and washing with soap and water two times. So use your best judgement when coloring with these, unless you want red fingers for family photos or something like that! 😂
Honestly though, this version of markers is fun and different. It allows me to not have to get the pain out all the time, but it is still unique for the kids.
