DOT MARKER LETTER “TRACING”

Yet another idea for younger children to learn letter formation, identification, and naming, without using a pencil. ✏️ Here these 3-year-olds were being introduced to the letter R for rainbow 🌈 and using hand-eye coordination in order to match the dot markers up with the circles.

Dot markers can be picked up anywhere from the @dollartree to @amazon and come in all kinds of colors. Children can use them to make open-ended designs on multiple surfaces, as well as more structured activities like this one. I recently learned that there are entire activity books created for use with dot markers. Am I the only one who’s late to the dot marker activity book party? 🤷🏻‍♀️
