Crosses
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dot at the top left, draw down to the bottom right, then lift the crayon and draw from the bottom left up to the top right.
- The two lines should meet in the middle of each cross.
- Trace cross after cross along the row; if the hand gets tired, stop after two or three rows.
What this worksheet teaches
An X is two diagonal lines in opposite directions, and copying it alone is usually mastered only around age 5. For a 3–4 year old, tracing large dashed crosses builds that skill in advance: it trains diagonal movement both ways, the order of two strokes and aiming through the center point. The same movements appear later in letters like x and k and in the tic-tac-toe games many children love.
Play idea
Treasure map: each cross marks hidden treasure. After tracing a row, your child secretly picks one X and draws a tiny treasure chest under it, and you guess which one it was before looking.
