This Dot Sticker Train Match is a super quick, low prep activity that will keep toddlers busy, happy and learning!
You can set up this activity in less than 5 minutes, so it’s perfect for those times when kids need a bit of a redirection or some time to sit and calm down. It doesn’t require a long list of materials so you won’t be running to the store for supplies either 🙂
Both of my kids loved this Dot Sticker activity. Of course my preschooler did this activity real quick, but my 3 year old took his time. He loved the matching aspect (he LOVES everything matching). It kept him busy and concentrated for sure!
