As the last of winter disappears and signs of spring begin to pop up all around us, we turn our crafting to all things spring: kites, flowers, rain clouds, rainbows, butterflies, and so much more. We love our Do a Dot Markers and were excited to pull them out and make this flower craft for spring.

Young kids will have fun welcoming spring with this do a dot flower craft while strengthening fine motor skills and hand eye coordination.

If you haven’t used Do a Dot Markers before, you need to try them. Besides being mess free, dot markers also helps kids develop hand-eye coordination as they direct their marker to the spot on their paper. Kids strengthen fine motor skills as they hold the dot markers and move their hands to apply the marker to the paper.

Do a Dot Markers are especially great for little ones. They are chunky, making it easier for their little hands to easily grab and manipulate. We always have do a dot markers and activity sheets on hand, like this spring do a dot activity packet, for a quick and easy activity.
