Don’t have Do a Dot markers? No worries, you can buy them here. Want to use something other than Do a Dot markers? You can use small erasers, stickers, pom poms, beads, etc. Be creative!

Here is one of my favorite pages in the pack:

One thing I love about this pack is the opportunity to challenge your child with developing patterns, color recognition as well as counting and simple math. These are perfect for homeschoolers, as well as for parents who are wanting to supplement for this kiddos this summer. Your kids won’t even feel like these are educational because they are so fun!

You can do one page a day or sit down and do all of the pages at one time. You know what else I love? These are perfect for travel and on the go!

red white and blue popcorn treats

Ingredients:

7 oz bag Boom Chick a Pop Sweet and Salty Popcorn (or equivalent amount made stove top, air popped or microwaved)
6-8 squares of Almond Bark (melted in a double boiler or medium low heat)
red and blue m&ms
red white and blue jimmies (or other candies)
mini marshmallows
edible dust glitter

festive popcorn treat

Method:

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. This makes for super easy cleanup!

Evenly spread out the popcorn on the parchment paper.

Add the melted and then cooled bark to the a large ziplock bag. Cut a small sliver of one of the bottom corners off the bag to make a make-shift pipping bag.

Drizzle the melted bark all over the popcorn.

Top with candies, marshmellows, etc.

Sprinkle with the edible dust glitter.

Let the bark cool 100% until it hardens. The candy will stick to the bark as it cools.
