One of our VERY favorite units to learn with our preschoolers is PETS! Who doesn’t love learning about dogs and cats and rabbits and all of the fun animals, right? As part of our vet unit, we love to finger paint the spots on Dalmatian dogs!We are always on the search for fun, easy, child-led art projects to incorporate into our units, and this one fits the bill! It’s perfect for a pet or vet unit for preschool, and we loved that it’s super simple to put together in addition to being good old fashioned fun, too.

Paint! Black is traditional, but a rainbow dalmatian would be adorable, too!

Instructions:

Print the free download page!
Have your child practice writing or tracing their name at the top of the page.
Put out some paint on a tray or paper plate.
Show your child how to dip their finger into the paint, then add spots to the dog!
We did a black and white version and a rainbow version, just for fun.
You can practice counting the spots for some extra math, or make spotty patterns on the dog if you’d like!
