New Year Do a Dot Printables

New Year Do a Dot Printables are an easy way to add themed learning to your homeschool days without extra prep. I always liked having simple pages ready when my kids were preschoolers, especially during busy seasons like January.

When I planned themed lessons, I often paired printables with hands-on ideas from my list of New Year activities for kids. It helped me keep learning light while still staying seasonal.

You’ll see the pages, what skills they support, and ways you can stretch the learning a bit further. If you’re teaching preschool at home, these ideas will save time and keep things fun.

Who Is This Printable For?

These pages are designed for PreK and kindergarten children.

Use them around the New Year when you want a simple seasonal activity for quiet time, morning work, or a short break between other lessons.

Why Use Dot Marker Activities?

Dot marker activities give young children a hands-on way to work with large spaces that are easy to see and fill.

The repeated stamping motion also gives little hands another type of fine motor practice while children work through familiar New Year pictures.

What Will Kids Learn?

These pages give young learners practice with several early skills.

• Fine motor skills: Practice controlled hand movements while stamping the circles.
• Counting: Count down from 10 to 1 on the countdown page.
• Number recognition: Work with numbers included in the countdown activity.
• Visual attention: Find and fill individual circles throughout each picture.
• Hand-eye coordination: Aim the dot marker at each outlined space.

Recommended New Year Books

I always liked adding themed read-alouds during January because stories made the topic feel familiar before starting any worksheet.

What Supplies Are Needed?

You only need a few supplies for these pages.

• Printer (I have this one)
• Paper
• Dot markers

If you don’t have dot markers, you can also use crayons or other coloring supplies to fill the circles.

I have the HP printer 8710, but it’s no longer available. It’s been running well for years now. Consider another HP Instant Ink-ready printer so that you can use their program to send you ink cartridges whenever your printer gets low on ink.

What Is Included?

The printable includes five New Year pages with a mix of counting and do-a-dot activities. New Year Do a Dot Printables 20…

New Year Countdown

The first page introduces a countdown from 10 to 1 and shows times from 7 PM through 11 PM. Children can color the page, follow the countdown numbers, and use the large circles near the times as part of the activity.

Happy New Year Hat

Children fill the circles covering a large New Year party hat with a Happy New Year! message in the center.

This page shows a child holding a balloon surrounded by fireworks. Dot marker circles are placed across the child, balloon, and fireworks for children to fill.

Party Horn and Hat

Children use their dot markers on a large party horn and celebration hat decorated with rows of circles.

January Celebration

The final page includes a January 1 calendar, fireworks, and a child wearing a party hat. Children can stamp the circles across each part of the scene.

How Can You Extend the Activity?

Add one or two hands-on activities to give kids another way to explore the New Year theme.

• Add some scissor practice with the New Year Cutting Worksheets.
• Draw a large number 10 and let your child add ten dot marker circles before counting backward together.
• Make simple paper fireworks and decorate them with dots in different colors.

How Can You Keep Learning Going?
