In the print dialog choose actual size (100 %) and black and white. Add a thick triangular crayon.
Why is this sheet for ages 3–4?
A lying eight carries the hand smoothly across the middle of the page – both halves work in one stroke.
- Two continuous strokes across the whole page without lifting the hand.
- Path 12 mm wide, the eight 52 mm tall – a big movement from the shoulder.
- Crossing the middle of the page: eye and hand move from left to right.
💬 Tip for parents
Draw the eight in the air first with the whole arm, three times is fine. Then let the child trace it with a finger and only then with a crayon. The exact line doesn't matter – not stopping does.
