One-to-one correspondence activities for toddlers. Teach toddlers to count and identify while strengthening their fine motor skills. #sponsored

Do your toddlers want to draw with markers, but the mess is just too risky for you to take on? Learning to keep markers on paper is part of a collection of one-to-one correspondence activities for toddlers. (Plus a lesson in self-control and eye-hand coordination.)

It requires so much repetition to learn how to use new art supplies, but when we teach our children the productive ways to use these learning tools, their enjoyment of activity time increases.

My twins light up when I say they can use their markers. I learned that I could only give them these fun art supplies with some precautionary measures and my full attention. What I noticed is that when they have this creative outlet they really soak up so much learning. My presence teaches them so much-even when all we are doing is coloring.

I gathered a few favorite activities that I use to teach my toddlers the skill of one-to-one correspondence.

6 One-to-One Correspondence Activities for Toddlers

The fact that toddlers are willing to push the exploration limits to try to learn beyond the boundaries we often have to impose, shows that their minds are constantly working.

Give your toddlers some one-to-one correspondence activities that will teach them how to use markers, keep them engaged and strengthen their fine motor skills.

Dabber Dot Markers and Activity Book

All four kids (ages 8, 5 and 2 year old twins) were ready to try out our Dabber Dot markers and activity book. The activities in the book were best suited for a preschooler or older toddler.

I was amazed how even my oldest two were interested in coloring and using the markers! This shows how well the activity pad can keep the attention of children in a variety of ages.

This is a tool for teaching one-to-one correspondence to toddlers, because the Dabber Dot markers can be used by children who have not yet developed the pincer grasp for coloring and writing. This covers most toddlers and even some younger preschoolers.

The Dabber Dot activity book has tear out pages. Each page gives toddlers the opportunity to explore a number or letter.

I did have to remind my toddlers that they can make the letters or numbers by dabbing onto each circle in a row. My older kids were ready to just trace along the circles to form the letters.

Toddlers can dab onto the workbook pages, preschoolers can begin to trace. This just shows their developmental understanding and differences in ability. The workbook was so helpful for meeting toddlers at their developmental level with the dabbing to learn the letter shapes.

Quick tip: What I do with any painting activity is use an old cookie sheet. That is a nice tray for kids to use while painting. It limits the spills of paint or water getting on the counter or floor, and is a real boundary to use as a reminder about where to keep the wet paint brushes or art supplies. It has made all the difference with clean up after painting activities.

Counting with Stickers

I shared this activity that uses stickers on a piece of paper for toddlers and preschoolers to learn to identify shapes and numbers.  Using stickers to teach one-to-one correspondence activities for toddlers is so inexpensive.

You could easily change this counting with stickers activity to use stamps or Dabber Dot markers to add more fun:

Place stickers on a piece of construction paper. Your child uses their finger to point to each sticker while counting. Or, he can use a stamp or Dabber Dot marker to stamp a circle of paint onto each sticker while counting.

This way, your child can see exactly which stickers they still need to count. It is a mental reminder to not double count the stickers.

Egg carton one to one correspondence activity for toddlers

This activity is so simple, but my twin girl kept trying it over and over again. It was a great addition to our one to one correspondence activities for toddlers.

You can read the egg carton learning activity details here.

Homemade ABC Poster

Make this DIY ABC poster and use it while singing the ABC song to encourage one-to-one correspondence as you point along with the letters.

Finger painting with printables

Print out these playdough mats and have your child finger paint the numbers. Using the fingers to explore the shape of each number in a tactile way helps to teach toddlers. Talking with your child while they paint, telling them the numbers, helps toddlers learn the number names.

Printable Paint Dauber Pages

Explore the collection of printables over at Fiddle and Doodle on Pinterest. Print out the worksheets. Your child can use paint daubers like the Dabber Dot markers to paint and stamp-more one-to-one correspondence activities for toddlers! There are some fun printables in their collection.

My kids climbing trees, playing with friends and g My kids climbing trees, playing with friends and getting to socialize is priceless right now.

There are two worlds developing lately. Here in NC other than a wearing a mask now and then, life is pretty normal. This is our world. 

I am so thankful. Praying for normal to get back to your area soon. 💛 Life is better lived with others.

As far as our home and homeschool, 2021 has been a As far as our home and homeschool, 2021 has been a dream so far! 

Kids are eager to learn and ask for more, we have a system down, and I am even getting rest time in the evening after the kitchen is cleaned up. My husband and I get time together while the kids are still awake which is important for them to see. 

It has taken some realization of truth to create this peace and balance. Teaching my kids is a full time job. I am giving it that time this year and it is making all the difference. #shed #deadweightisgone #focusonthepresent #focusonfamily #thisismywork #homeschoolingmom #homeschoolingmama #homeschoolisafulltimejob #intentionalhomeschooling #intentionalmotherhood #intentionalmama #wifeandmother #homemakingmotivation #schoolathome #lifebalance
How long have you known your spouse? This guy an How long have you known your spouse? 

This guy and I met our senior year of high school. What a journey we were in for and did not ever realize! 

•4 kids + 1 miscarriage
•Navigating long distance relationship while dating, engaged and married
•Working to build faith as the center and focus of “us”
•Loving each other at our ugliest moments
•Building our home team for the long term

Every time the world feels heavy, chaotic, and strange, our marriage is a safe place. It makes our home calm amongst the storm of global politics. 

I have grown content with our imperfections- because there are much bigger problems to navigate in the world...am I right?! 😳

That brings me so much peace. 

Loving not only how well we work together but also the ways we still need to improve. That is where I am in my marriage. Grateful to have so much history with this guy. It fills my tank for all the years we have ahead of us to navigate as well.

It does not matter if you are a man or a woman, yo It does not matter if you are a man or a woman, you can not do it all well. 

Hi, my name is Jaimi and sometimes I deliver truth that cuts to the heart. 👌😉

Women have been fed a lie that they can and need to juggle it all. I have learned to juggle. Eventually balls fall. 

As I took on more because I was told all that mattered was my mindset, I inevitably had to set aside the tasks that God called me to do first. We never take on more and more and more and stay in balance without setting aside more than we should.

It is not a matter of mindset, it is a matter of priorities.

Have you heard of the “one thing every day”? Many make that a clean kitchen, workout completed or devotional time. My one this is my family. If I focus on them each day I feel successful. 

In my home there is peace. The world is in chaos, power has become currency, and morals have fallen away. But “me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

It has nothing to do with gender. No one can take on something new without setting aside something they were working on already. 

Peace and order in my home is worth it. I am setting aside the things that bring chaos into my life and home. I am only focusing on the things that serve God here. 

What have you done to focus on success with completing your priorities this year? Have you made small changes to get there or large leaps?

Today we took the Christmas decorations down. It m Today we took the Christmas decorations down. It marked the real start of 2021 for us. 

For some reason I am feeling ready for Spring cleaning. Funny enough, as I was cleaning out some flower pots that had gone a little stagnant over the colder weeks, I saw shoots! My plants think Spring is on its way-it has been warm here over the last few days. 

Being greeted by this view as we were piling into the van this morning, felt energizing. 

My steps heading in to 2021 are more careful, pragmatic. It feels good to feel on course, back to what matters most, and have zero guilt for what I will put on the back burner this year to stay focused on giving my family my best.

With family all long distance + the twins birthday 2 days after Christmas we end up with about 4 gift opening sessions over the course of Christmas week. I see no complaints from these kids. 😆 

How did package shipping go for you this year? Do you plan ahead for shipping gifts? 

We are definitely grateful for giving family. #christmasweek #giftopening #givinggifts #moregifts #feelingloved #holiday2020 #familytime2020

Every ornament on our tree holds meaning. Many are Every ornament on our tree holds meaning. Many are kid-made; some were gifts to commemorate milestones like marriage and births; some we purchased each year with the theme of that year to remind us. 

A few ornaments have impact for other reasons. They beautify our tree while impacting the lives of female crafters in parts of the world that need to be lifted up. This new addition has a backstory. Swipe right to read it. 🌟💜 I am blessed to support the @younglivingfoundation 

I love the memories of my tree. So many favorite ornaments. 

Which of your ornaments are your favorite?
