Fiddle & Doodle Dot Marker Review + Giveaway!

My kids are crazy about dot markers and use them on an almost daily basis. As a mom, I love them because they're a great motivational tool for learning. Imagine our excitement when we had the wonderful opportunity to try out a new brand of dot markers & activity sheets by the company Fiddle & Doodle.

Fiddle & Doodle was kind enough to offer a FREE set of dot markers + activity pad to one lucky reader. Enter the Giveaway at the bottom of this post for your chance to win.

Disclosure: I was given a complimentary set as well as compensation for my time and effort to review this product. All opinions are my own and I was in no way required to write a positive review. Affiliate links are included for your convenience.

When our Fiddle & Doodle dot markers came in the mail, it was apparent what sets them apart from other dot markers. It came with an amazing pad of learning activities, featuring the letters of the alphabet, numbers, counting and coloring. Normally you have to either purchase these separately, or go online and search through blogs for resources to print out. With Fiddle & Doodle, everything that we needed was included and my kids got started right away. They were so excited to look through the activity pad and picked out the sheets they wanted to start with.

My daughters, now 3 and 5, were instantly attracted to the markers' bright and modern design. The adorable polka dots, round caps and 8 very unique colors made these markers an instant hit.

With my 3 year old it was a great opportunity to practice letters and numbers. My 5 year old was mesmerized by all the cute pictures she could color and be creative with. We also reviewed letter sounds with each picture that she colored.

Watching my daughters "working", I was very impressed by the quality of the colors. They seemed much brighter and more vibrant than other dot markers we have used in the past.

I was also pleasantly surprised by the variety of activities in the pack. There are over 30 pages including all the letters of the alphabet, numbers 0-20, counting, and several fun coloring pages such as a rainbow, balloons and emojis.

Both of my girls were occupied for a long time and yet they still had plenty of pages left over for next time. When they do run out of activities I can head over to the Fiddle & Doodle website and print out free activity sheets. (including a Pokemon counting pack!)

Fiddle & Doodle Dot Markers can be purchased HERE. They are currently ON SALE until Sept 18th for 10% Off 1 set or 15% Off 2 sets. Use the Promo Code: FIDOSALE

Bug Letter Dot Marker Coloring Pages

Who's enjoying the Spring weather? We love Spring since it means all of the bugs come up and my kids love to follow those amazing creatures around to find their homes. My daughter enjoys using dot markers to color and she tries very hard to get it right in the center which is fun to watch.

This post contains affiliate links for your convenience.

Bugs each have their own special characteristics and they each have their own amazing adaptations to nature. You can discuss their diet and habitats as you find them on your walks outdoors or as they're playing in your backyards. They're everywhere and it's great to use them to explore science and nature a bit more. Bug lovers will be so happy with these coloring pages. For those like my daughter, who don't love bugs, she did enjoy the ladybug printable and that was it, LOL.

Bug Dot Coloring Pages Supplies

Printer
Paper
Dot markers
Pencil
Page protectors (optional)
Dry/wet erase markers (optional)

Print the sheets out onto paper and have your child color them with dot markers or bingo dabbers. They can also write in the name of the bug underneath. If you'd like to use them again, place them in page protectors. You can then use blocks, pom poms to color in the bugs and then you can write in a dry/wet erase marker. Wipe it clean when you're done.

To extend this activity, read your favorite bug books and create your own bugs out of the recyclable items in your home. My kids love to create and build so we have a box of junk that they are free to craft with to their heart's content. It's a great way to use up the stuff that would end up in the garbage and I don't have to shop for supplies.

Materials:

I love using dot markers with preschoolers because it adds a bit of extra fun for them. However, you can get creative and use many other things such as crayons, markers, or fingerpaint. Or, instead of coloring the letters, kids can cover them with pom poms, buttons, counting chips, etc.
