About this printable
This worksheet features four simple cross shapes made of dotted lines. Each cross has two starting points marked with numbers, guiding children to trace the vertical line first, then the horizontal line. The thick, clear lines are perfect for little hands learning to control a pencil or crayon.
Ideal for preschoolers and kindergarteners, this page supports the development of essential pre-writing skills. It can be used as a basic shape activity or as part of a lesson on early writing and fine motor development. Use it at home or in the classroom.

Questions about this printable
Do I have to pay for Trace A Cross Worksheet for Pencil Control Practice? ▾
No. Click the download button and the file saves straight away — nothing to sign up for, nothing to pay, and no watermark across the artwork.
What paper size does it print on? ▾
The file is laid out for US Letter (8.5 × 11 in) and prints just as cleanly on A4 — turn on "Fit to page" in your print dialog and it scales to about 97%, which nobody can see by eye.
Can I print it more than once? ▾
As many times as you like. Plain copy paper is all it needs. If you use the same sheet daily, slip it into a plastic wallet and write on it with a dry-wipe marker — one printed page then lasts weeks.
Can I use it in my classroom? ▾
Yes. Teachers, homeschool parents, childminders and libraries may print unlimited copies for their own children at no cost and with no permission needed. The only thing you may not do is sell it, sell prints of it, or pass the file itself around — share a link to this page instead.
Is there more like this? ▾
This page is part of 31 Free Tracing Lines and Curves Worksheets, which has 31 printables in it. You can take them one at a time, or use the "Download all" button on the set's page to get every page in one go.
Can I change it? ▾
This one is a true vector PDF — every line is a shape and the text is still live text, so it opens in Illustrator, Inkscape, Affinity or Canva and can be edited. That is for your own use: the licence does not allow reselling it, edited or not.
