4 Christmas Activities for Crossing the Midline

Handwriting and fine motor development rely on many underlying skills. One important one is the ability to cross the midline, which means reaching across the center of the body to complete a task.

Everyday play and movement naturally support this skill, but we can also encourage it with purposeful activities. Seasonal classroom or at-home printables are a fun way to help children practice crossing their midline while staying engaged.

In this festive pack, you’ll find 4 Christmas-themed printables featuring cheerful designs (a snowy sleigh path, kids building a snow man, or winter animals walking through a trail). Each simple activity invites kids to reach across their middle line while completing holiday-inspired tasks.

It is recommended to print these off on bigger pieces a paper, so kids can reach futher away, but it is also fit for A4.
