Dot a Dot Art! Review: A Timberdoodle Review

 What an amazing opportunity to be able to try this product and review it for you! We had so much fun with this and I am excited to share the details.  The Dot A Dot Art! kit comes with two boxes of the dot paint 'markers' and two activity books. One is a preschool workbook and the other has simple drawn pictures the student can fill in with the dot a dot paint. It's for ages 3+ and both my 5 year old son and 14 month old daughter really enjoyed these!

Here is a sample of my son's first art project in the book. What I love most about the simple design, is that it allows kids to get creative. My son added a flower to his art creation.

Baby Girl got in on the fun too! While for ages 3+ I would say this is mess free (which is awesome for my son who hates getting his hands messy), Baby Girl managed to get some on her fingers. However, the shape of the 'markers' allowed my daughter to be able to figure out how use them easily. She was quite proud of her art project!

If I had one thing I would change about this product, it would be that at least one set of paint markers were not glittery or shimmery. My son felt like it was a bit on the 'girly' side even thought the workbook and coloring activity book could apply to either. It would have been nice to have a plain set of colors. However, this is a small complaint, and it definitely didn't stop him from asking again and again to use them!

Another small thing was that a few of the pages weren't perforated, while the rest of the book was. I loved the ones you could easily tear out of the book!

All in all, I would definitely recommend the Dot a Dot art kit! This is perfect for a rainy afternoon, or when the kids want to start an art project but you don't want the mess! The workbook is perfect for preschool age (I am setting it aside for Baby Girl) and this whole set comes with Timberdoodle's Preschool curriculum. The pages are durable and thick and make perfect art to give to grandparents. They will brighten any proud refrigerator door!
