Messy Points

Step 1

Ask an adult to write your name on a piece of paper with a crayon.

Step 2

Now it’s your turn! Get your Extra Jumbo Washable Markers and dot along the line for each letter of your name.

Tip

Once they’ve added their dots, encourage your child to then draw a line running through each of the dots to become more familiar with the letter shapes.

Big Thinkers

This is a great activity to help your Little Creative learn the letters in their name. As they dot the letters, they’re learning how to grasp their pen and control its movements.
