Fence
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dot on the left and trace the rail straight across the middle of the row.
- Then trace each post from the top line down to the bottom line, crossing the rail.
- If a whole row is too long, trace the rails with one crayon today and the posts with another tomorrow.
What this worksheet teaches
A fence practices the two basic straight strokes, across and down, and the moment where one line crosses another. For 3–4 year olds, tracing a long horizontal line builds steady left-to-right movement, while the short vertical posts train starting at the top and stopping at the bottom. Children usually learn to copy a plus sign around age 4, and every post crossing the rail is a small cross, so this sheet leads naturally toward that milestone.
Variation to try
Farmyard: after tracing, your child draws a round sheep or a pig behind the fence in one row and a sun above another, then tells a short story about the animals.
