Our dot marker sets — each ships with a free activity book
Every Chalkola dot marker set ships with a free printable activity book. Designs vary by set — each one is matched to the age and use case the markers are built for.
The activity book comes with every set — it's not an add-on you pay extra for, and you won't find it offered anywhere else. It's our way of giving new owners a running start with their first art supply.
Beyond dot markers — the full Chalkola range
Once your kids outgrow dot markers (around age 5), Chalkola has the next art supplies ready.
Our full range covers every stage of a kid's creative growth and every adult project too:
Watercolor brush pens
Age 5+. Paint, letter, blend — the natural step up from dot markers. Kids who mastered the press-and-dot press into calligraphy and line art.
Acrylic paints
Age 6+. Canvas painting, mixed media, brush technique. The grown-up version of the kids' craft drawer.
Acrylic paint markers
All ages. Rock painting, wood signs, custom mugs — permanent color on any surface. Our most versatile art tool.
Liquid chalk markers
Menu boards, kitchen signs, window art. What cafes, restaurants, and home kitchens use for hand-lettered style.
Find the full Chalkola range at chalkola.com/collections/all or explore the Art Creators' Hub for deep-dive guides on each medium.
Activity books included in every Chalkola dot marker set
Chalkola ships an activity book free with every kit — no extra purchase needed. The book matches the set's age range and theme:
- Toddler 6-pack book — ages 1-3 first dots, large simple shapes, free-fill pages.
- 8-pack with 20-page book — ages 3-5 alphabet, numbers, basic patterns.
- 16-pack with 50-page book — ages 4-7 themed pages including seasonal art and pattern building.
- 50-pack classroom bulk + 5 themed books — alphabet learning, animals, numbers and shapes, sea life, and transport — 100+ pages total. Designed for daycare, preschool, and homeschool group sessions.
For extra variety on top of the included book, free printable pages from educator blogs and Pinterest cover almost every preschool topic. Print and stack them with the included book for months of activity rotation.
Find them on Amazon, Target, Walmart, Barnes & Noble, and most chain book retailers.
Make your own activity book
If you want a custom book sized to your child's current skills:
- Print 10–20 free pages from online sources, matching your child's age and current learning goals.
- Punch holes and put in a three-ring binder — kids love flipping through "their book."
- Refresh monthly with new pages as skills grow.
Cost: $10 for a binder + $2 in printing = a better-tailored activity book than anything you'd buy off the shelf.
Frequently asked questions
Are free printables as good as paid activity books?
For most preschool concepts, yes. Free printables cover alphabet, numbers, shapes, seasons, and patterns very well. Paid books often have better paper quality (doesn't curl from ink) and cleaner illustrations — useful for keepsake work but not strictly necessary.
What paper should I print do-a-dot pages on?
Regular printer paper works for daily practice. For nicer finished pieces, use 60-lb drawing paper or 80-lb cardstock — the dots stay crisper and the paper doesn't wrinkle when wet.
Do activity books come with the Chalkola dot marker sets?
Yes — every Chalkola dot marker set includes a free printable activity book. Designs vary by set (toddler, preschool, or shimmer/themed edition) so the activities match the kids' age range and interest.
Can I laminate activity pages for reuse?
Dot markers don't work on laminated pages — the ink beads up on the gloss. For reusable pages, use dry-erase markers or slip a printed page into a clear sheet protector and use washable markers (which wipe off plastic).
What's the best age to introduce dot marker activity books?
Age 2 for simple shape-fill and free-dot pages; age 3 for basic alphabet and number work; age 4–5 for pattern, counting, and early literacy work; age 5+ for pointillism, mandalas, and creative projects.
