Quick answer
Peel the sticker dots from the sheets and place them on the matching numbered or colored spaces on the unicorn and princess picture boards. No glue, no scissors, no mess.
Why this activity works for ages 3-7
Young children often struggle with glue sticks and small scissors, which can lead to frustration and mess. The Dot It set replaces those tools with pre-cut sticker dots that are easy for small fingers to grasp and place. This builds confidence and independence.
What you need to know before starting
The set includes 8 picture boards (unicorn and princess themes) and multiple sheets of colorful sticker dots. Each dot has a number or color that matches a space on the board. Work on a flat, clean surface and keep the sticker sheets organized to avoid mixing up the dots.
Step-by-step instructions
- Step 1: Choose a picture board: Pick one of the 8 unicorn or princess boards. Lay it flat on a table or tray. Avoid using a bumpy surface, as the sticker dots may not stick well.
- Step 2: Find the matching sticker sheet: Look at the numbers or colors printed on the board spaces. Find the sticker sheet that has the same numbers or colors. Peel only the dots you need for that board to keep the rest organized. Common mistake: peeling all dots at once can cause them to lose stickiness or get mixed up.
- Step 3: Peel and place each dot: Gently peel a sticker dot from the sheet and press it onto the matching space on the board. Work from one corner to the opposite corner so you don't smudge already-placed dots. If a dot doesn't stick well, press firmly for 3 seconds. Avoid repositioning the same dot more than once—it may lose adhesion.
- Step 4: Complete the picture: Continue peeling and placing dots until every numbered or colored space is filled. For large spaces, you can overlap dots slightly to cover the area completely. Check for any empty spots by holding the board up to light. Fill any gaps for a finished look.
- Step 5: Display or store the art: Once finished, the picture is ready to hang on the wall or give as a gift. Store unused boards and sticker sheets in the original box or a zip-top bag to keep them clean. Avoid folding the completed picture—it may cause the sticker dots to peel off.
