Crosses
How to use this worksheet
- Each X starts at the dot at its top-left end: draw the first stroke down to the bottom right.
- Lift the crayon, move to the bottom left and draw the second stroke up to the top right, crossing the first one in the middle.
- Say "one, two" for the two strokes of each cross.
- Trace the solid model X at the start of the row with a finger before using the crayon.
What this worksheet teaches
An X is two diagonal lines crossing in the center. Diagonals are harder than vertical and horizontal lines, and copying an X usually comes at about age 5, so tracing at 3–4 gives an early start with full support. Lifting the crayon and restarting in the right place is also an important skill for letters built from separate strokes, such as x, k, t and A. The large rows, about 2.4 cm tall, make both strokes long enough to see clearly where they meet.
Play idea
Hide a small toy in the room and draw a simple treasure map with a big X. When the treasure is found, your child traces one row of Xs as "more treasure spots".
