Paper Balls on Big Dots

A picture with big dots—a ladybug missing its spots or an apple tree without apples—and little squares of colored paper to scrunch into mini-balls. Place one ball on each dot: skip the glue to play again and again, or glue them down to keep their masterpiece.

Step by step

  1. Print a picture with big dots (a ladybug, an apple tree) and cut out small squares of colored paper.
  2. Scrunch a paper square into a mini-ball between your thumb and pointer finger, then place it right onto a dot.
  3. Let your child scrunch and place their balls, one per dot, at their own pace.
  4. 'one dot... one ball.' Point out any missed dots without filling them in yourself.
  5. Blow them all away to start over, or glue them down to display.
  6. Use smaller, more numerous dots, or draw a trail of dots to follow in order.
