1 year ago Hi, I couldn't find pre-prepared relevant images with the white circles. I used Fotor to add the white circles. I spent decent amount of time looking for a free red only (or red and black) firetruck and failed. Since there will be a trial and error, I figured to play around with the images/circles sizes. Let me know if the images below have too many colors/shades. It's tricky to find un-cartoony with 1 or 2 colors.

When A 'draws', this is currently just a random scribble, irrespective of if he is trying to draw something, trying to colour something in or generally doodling.
I'm keen to have a LOT of different activities for him to encourage him to have a little more control over his use of a drawing implement, allowing him to practice a more deliberate line which he will eventually need for writing.
One of these activities is using dot markers.
We already have the dot markers. Now we just want a targeted activity for its use.
This is the kind of thing I am thinking of:

@Stephanymtr Please find some images of animals or objects of interest to Alex that have either been pre-prepared with the white circles for use with dot markers or that we can add white circles to. Ideally they would be as un-cartoony as possible but we will still need them to be somewhat cartoony - we want them to be all one colour (two at most for a later stage) so that it looks 'right' to A when it's filled in. We'll have to trial and error the size of the circles too if using our own images.
