To my surprise, Elise has begun writing her name on her own. Nevermind that the letters aren’t in order or in a straight line left to right. Proud mama, here. Can you see all the letters?
If I had known this was going to be the first time she wrote her name, I would have given her a better piece of paper.
I thought I would help her out by making her a traceable handwriting worksheet, and I’m sharing it with you as a free customizable printable!

Update: 05/23/2014: I’ve removed the watermarks from the printable!
Enter your child’s name in the first field, press TAB and the rest of the fields will fill automatically. Then print or save!
The first page is simply fields to trace while the second page has blank lines below the fields in case they want to try writing without any guidance.
You can type upper case, lower case, mixed case. If your child’s name is short, you might even be able to fit it twice on each line as I did above.
Of course, you’re not limited to just a name. You can do numbers, letters or whatever other words you can fit in the width of the field. Let me know what clever ideas you come up with in the comments!
p.s. The font I used is called Quicksand Dash.
Congrats, Elise!
Kids really grow up fast!
Yes they do!
This is awesome thank you!
You’re welcome! Glad you like it!
Thanks for sharing! This is perfect!
No problem! Hope it helps!
Thanks for sharing! God Bless you!
You’re welcome!
I am having a problem with doing the Printable-preschool-handwriting work sheet. I get it all filled out and everything and when I get it printed out the name is not on the print out. What am I doing wrong? Please help.
Thank You so much.
Hi Jo,
Are you saving the PDF file to your computer before filling it out? It might not work if you are filling it out in your web browser. Let me know if that fixes the problem!
My grandson has just started getting interested in writing his name. This is just what i was looking for, thank you.
Great! Have fun with you grandson!
Hi. This is exactly what I am looking for. I tried saving it to my computer but it says that I don’t have permission to open it. Is that any way that you can email me the pdf?

Try downloading it again. There shouldn’t be any restrictions.
Right-click on the download link, and select “Save link as…” (or similar option depending on your browser). If you are on a restricted network (like at a workplace), that might be the source of your trouble.
I love it … only issue I have is its not long enough for my daughters first and last names: Sophie Michael the el gets missed 🙁
Sorry about that. I wanted to make sure the letters were large enough for little hands.
Maybe make two separate sheets and tape them together?
OMG thank you so much for this I was looking for ways to help my son get better at writing his name everything else was so difficult to print had to download other stuff your was so easy and very convenient
You’re welcome! Glad it was easy!
WOW! Thank you so very much. It is amazing to be able to use this with out having to sign up for a ton of spam or jump through silly hoops! This is such an amazingly simple thing to do to help my daughter an a big way. THANK YOU!!!!
You’re welcome! I hate spam and silly hoops too!
This is a wonderful resource thank you so much for developing and making available!
You’re welcome!
hello , it is a great program , but it does not allow me to change the size of the letter, please can you help me.
Hi Indira,
This isn’t a program, it’s a PDF form. The text is a fixed size and cannot be changed.
