Dot dabbers

http://www.teachpreschool.org/2011/07/diy-make-your-own-dot-dabbers-for-preschool/
 Take a look at my friend Deborah's dot dabbers! She always inspires me!
I have always used bingo dabbers with my tots - but the ink does not wash off well. Getting the colours you really want may also be an issue - so to make your own is a great option!
Here is my version!
We used yogurt drink containers and 2 styles of makeup sponges.
The pink one is like a regular sponge - more porous.

These are the perfect size for small hands.
The sponges were too small - so I added some fine netting and secured it all with elastic bands.


They worked out great! One had a bit too much water
so I have to remember not to add too much next time!



This little boy was thrilled to see he came up with a happy face!

Nice effect!

    These are wonderful! I love it! What I find is that the homemade dabbers are much more fun to play with too!

    Great idea! I love these containers and have used them for vases and snowmen, but this is pretty cool!!! :))

    I give credit to Deborah @ Teach Preschool - thankfully I had lots of the yogurt containers because I too have made vases and snowmen with them. I will repost my snowmen come winter time.
