GROWN-UP GUIDE

Geting Started With Your Dot Markers

1. Set Up the Space

a. Choose a flat surface like a table or a mat on the floor.

b. Keep tissues or wipes nearby for quick cleanups

2. Introduce the Marker

a. Show your child how to hold the marker upright like a stamp.

b. Gently press the sponge tip onto the paper to create colorful dots. Try a little side-to-side motion for more coverage.

3. Explore Worksheets or Freestyle Dotting

a. Start with Doodle Dots worksheets or let them create freely!

b. Encourage dotting over shapes, following patterns, or matching colors. Remember, there's no wrong way to play.

4. Practice, Play, and Praise

a. Let them explore and experiment at their own pace.

b. Celebrate their effort: "Look at all the colors you used!" rather than focusing on perfection.

5. Clean Up & Store Properly

a. Wipe around the tip if needed.

b. close the cap tightly to prevent drying, and stroke markers upright in a cool, dry place.

Pro Tip:
Dot markers are washable and low-mess with proper use. For extra peace of mind, have your child wear play clothes so they can focus on the fun!
