How to Play & Learn with the Christmas Tree Dot Sticker Activity

- Color identification
- Fine motor skills
- Hand & eye coordination
- Counting
How to Adapt this Activity for Your Childs Skill Level
You can modify this Christmas Dot Sticker Activity to match your child’s skill level:
1. For Very Young Children
For very young children and those that haven’t learned their colors yet, you could just start practicing their pincer grasp and fine motor skills by placing the stickers onto the Christmas tree.
2. For Older Children
For older or those that already know some colors, you can draw colored dots on the Christmas tree and let your child match them with the dot stickers.
You can also call out the colors of the stickers as your child add them to the tree to practice color recognition.
3. For Very Able Children
For very able children, you can add counting or letter recognition to the activity. Write numbers or letters on the tree and the stickers and let your child match them.
An even more challenging activity is to write equations on the Christmas tree and the correct answer on the stickers. Your child would then solve the equations by adding the sticker with the correct answer on top of the equation.
You can also work on color recognition by asking your child questions like:
- “What can you think of that’s red?”
- “What in this room is green?”
- “What food can you think of that’s yellow?”
Questions like these will elevate this activity and help build vocabulary.
