What Are Dot Markers?

Dot markers (also called do a dots) are chunky paint markers made to fit perfectly in small toddler hands. They have a round sponge tip that stamps a circle on the page, kind of like a bingo dauber but way more fun for toddlers and preschoolers.

They’re one of my favorite toddler art supplies because they’re easy to hold, don’t make a huge mess, and kids love them. If you’ve got a little one who’s just starting to get into coloring, dot markers are a great way to help them practice fine motor skills without needing perfect coordination.

They’re also the perfect match for these free Christmas do a dot printables. No scissors, glue, or clean up required. Just hand over the markers and let them get to work while you check something off your holiday to do list.
