When I was a kid, my mother had a bunch of bingo markers from an activity she conducted for her business. When the activity was over she let me play with them. I am not sure what the draw was but I loved playing with those bingo markers. At the time, there was only one color and no activities other than bingo that went along with them. I just sat and marked paper and made pictures all on my own. As a kid it is fun to explore different art mediums. Do you think the makers of Do A Dot, had a similar experience with bingo markers?
Do A Dot is a very fun way to explore art and activities. Basically, think of bingo markers. Except these markers come in different colors and are washable. You can also purchase plenty of activity books to keep your child busy and having fun.
I purchased Do A Dots years ago when my oldest was small. Just the other day I purchased more for my 6 and 3 year old. I just knew they would have so much fun playing and creating with them. To my surprise, my 12 year old also had fun for a while playing with them. In fact, I actually enjoyed having a bit of fun with them. You can make just about anything! I also use them with printable activities online such as uppercase alphabet letters. I make my own sheets by printing off letters, numbers, sums, blends, etc. I call out a phonics sound, number, letter, addition problem, etc. and my child uses a Do A Dot marker to indicate the correct answer. The markers are versatile and fun for all ages.
Many still use bingo markers but keep in mind those markers may not be washable and could be toxic.
