About DexteDoodle
I am a children's book author with a passion to support parents of future writers through pre-writing and early writing resources.
I was watching my son play with a Lego. He placed a pencil in the hitch, wrapped a rubber band around it to hold the pencil to the Lego. His imagination was my inspiration for DexteDoodle. An art toy, stories and activities for pre-writers.
I share the stories I have written and invite your child to trace, color, and draw along. Every page in the story is a stop on the road to writing: a maze to keep the crayon inside the road, a shape to copy, a scene to cut and glue back together, a picture to finish and then draw on their own.
Drawing, mazes, tracing and coloring are the pre-writing skills — fine motor skill development and pencil control, in plain words. A circle today is a letter later.
Ready to write isn't a race. It's a handful of skills in order.
See exactly where your child is on the road to writing — and what to hand them next.
One email brings you:
Right now the newest story is If You Play Tag at Christmas Time — a Story & Activity Set where half the book is theirs to color and draw. The Original Story, If You Play Tag with a Bunny, is on its way back in a new edition.
