Dot Sticker Visual Discrimination Activity
I set up this activity the night before so it was ready to go in the morning.
This was very simple and quick to make.
I have learned over the past year and a half of doing activities with Riley that she focuses and enjoys them more in the morning.
She loved this activity and wanted to do it twice!
For This Activity, You’ll Need:
- Paper
- Butcher Paper or Poster Board
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Dot Stickers
- Tape (optional)
How To Set Up Your Visual Discrimination Activity
First, I cut 2 sheets of paper into 12 pieces about the size of a post-it note.
Next, I drew 12 squares on a piece of butcher paper.
Then I added three dot stickers to each square on the butcher paper.
I chose different colors and patterns for each square so none of them would be the same.
I then put dot stickers on each cut out square to match the ones on the butcher paper.
This way every square on the butcher paper had a matching cut out square.
Once all the dot stickers were on, this visual discrimination activity was ready to go.
I used tape on the corners of the butcher paper to keep it from moving around on the table.
I placed the butcher paper and squares in front of Riley and told her to match the cut outs to the correct squares on the paper.
She did great matching the squares but had trouble positioning them the same way.
Once you set up this visual discrimination activity, you can use it multiple times.
Adapt The Activity For Multiple Ages To Enjoy
You can make this activity easier by using less dot stickers on each square or using less total squares.
If you need to make this visual discrimination activity harder, you can add more dot stickers or have the squares look very similar with only one change to each.
For example, one square has blue, green, red, and purple and another square has blue, green, red, and yellow.
Another fun idea is to use any kind of stickers!
Just make sure you have double, one for the butcher paper sheet and one for the cut out squares.
This is a great way to personalize it to your child’s interests.
