At what age can a child typically copy a cross with fine motor skills?

The typical age at which a child can copy a cross using their fine motor skills is around 4 years old. At this stage in development, children have generally improved their hand-eye coordination and fine motor control, allowing them to replicate simple shapes with increasing accuracy. Copying a cross involves understanding the lines' orientation and coordination in movements, which children this age can often achieve as part of their growing artistic and writing skills.

By 3 years old, children are usually able to draw basic shapes like circles and may show interest in imitating lines, but the precision required to copy a cross often comes with further practice and development that occurs around the age of 4. At 5 years old, children may enhance this skill with more complexity, but the milestone of copying a cross is typically established by the age of 4.
