Dot painted letters

I do this at the beginning of the year to show the kids that their names and the letters in their names are important.  Make sure to use a permanent marker, so the colors don't bleed together.

For 3 year olds, I make a bubble letter of the child's first letter of their name, then just right the rest of it.

For 4 year olds, I make their entire name in bubble letters.

Then let the kids dot away.  Hang them up, so the kids can find their names as the year goes on.

If your interested in making your own dot painters, check out my previous post or Teach Preschool's version.
