What is Dot Marker Painting?
Dot marker painting is where you use a dot marker to paint circles to make a picture.
And the picture you are making is an American flag.
Book about The American Flag
A great book to read with this craft is F Is for Flag (Reading Railroad Books). It teaches kids about the flag and the different symbols for the flag.
This is a great way to talk about the colors of the flag with red, white, and blue and what the stars and stripes mean on the American flag.

And if they make a mistake that is okay! Let them make mistakes and learn from them.
