DOT MARKERS, NAMES, AND BEARS , OH MY!

As a self-proclaimed lover or bright colors, I think these are BEAUTIFUL! They’re also functional, educational, and reusable, so there is absolutely no reason not to do this activity.

First, write your child’s name in dot markers and see if they can identify their name as well as identify or name the letters in it. They’ll enjoy matching colored bears to the corresponding colored letters in their name. It’s also a great opportunity to talk about concepts such as “matching” and “same,” while simultaneously working on color naming.

If you try it, please tag us. We’d love you to share!

Thank you @irishtwinsmommy for this color matching and name recognition idea! She chose to do it with edible gummy bears, which we switched out for our teddy bear counters, but the concept is the same.
