FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - “Fall Theme ABC Do-A-Dot | FREE Coloring Sheets for Pre-K”

by RoShamBo Homeschooling
Pre-Kindergarten - 1st Grade


This free printable includes 5 fall theme Do-a-Dot coloring sheets. Each page focuses on a different letter of the alphabet for kids so they can work on uppercase letter recognition while they stamp the pages.

Uppercase Letters Included in this Do-A-Dot Coloring Set:

  • L is for Leaves
  • P is for Pumpkin
  • A is for Acorn
  • T is for Tree
  • S is for Sweater

You can use these coloring sheets with Do-A-Dot markers (the type you would use to play bingo), or stamp the letter circles in with stickers, crayons, regular markers, or paint!

Do-A-Dot markers and stickers are great for toddlers and preschoolers who are still working on their fine motor skills and have trouble coloring in the lines. Practicing with Do-A-Dot coloring sheets is wonderful pre-handwriting practice and can give younger kiddos confidence in their new abilities!

Coloring in Do-A-Dot sheets with stickers is also an easy mess-free activity for long car rides.

These coloring pages are fun fall activity for homeschoolers but also work well for preschool or kindergarten classes or for distance learning.

Looking for more more Do-A-Dot activities? Check out my Do-A-Dot for Google Slides™ theme packs!

Please let me know if you have any questions prior to purchasing.
