What's included in the Dustin worksheet

Letters to trace: 6; Capital D + 5 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #728; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; No diagonal strokes

Dustin sits in the middle of the range — from the capital “D” on, most of its 6 letters are shapes a beginner already knows, and the rest are the ones worth slowing down for. Remind your child to finish “i” with the dot — dots and crosses are added last, after the letter body. The tall letter “t” reaches the top guide line — a common slip is stopping it at the height of the small letters instead. Because Dustin was the #728 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Dustin tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

Forming the letters of Dustin, one at a time:

D — A big line down, then back to the top and one big curve out to the right that lands on the bottom of the line.
u — A short line down, curve along the bottom, back up — then a small line down the right side to finish.
s — The same snake drawn half-size between the midline and the baseline.
t — A tallish line down that curves gently at the bottom, crossed with a short bar at the midline rather than the top.
i — A short line from the midline down to the baseline, then a dot floated above it — body first, dot last.
n — A short line down, then back up and over a single hump to the baseline.

Watch the skyline of Dustin: “D” and “t” reach the top guide line, two tall letters out of 6. The rest are small letters with nothing hanging below the baseline — only the floating dot on “i” sits above the letter body.

Dustin runs six letters, the single most common name length on this site (562 of the 1,918 names). It is also one of the rarer picks on this site, sitting deeper in the 2025 boys' list yet still ahead of 256 of the 965 boys' names.

Dustin was the #728 boys' name in the U.S. for 2025, per the Social Security Administration's public-domain baby-names data. The worksheet itself is one page — US Letter, A4-friendly — ruled with classic three-line handwriting guides plus a descender line below.

Tips for tracing Dustin

Try “Dus”, breathe, then “tin” — halving Dustin turns one long word into two easy wins.
The dot on “i” comes at the very end of Dustin: trace every letter body, then go back and dot.
Say the letter heights out loud as a chant while tracing — “tall, small, small, tall, small, small” — the size pattern of Dustin sticks faster when it has words.
Finish each session with one try writing Dustin on blank paper — tracing builds the motor pattern, writing from memory locks it in.

Customization options

Font style

Choose dotted outlines while your child is still learning where each stroke goes, and switch to solid light-gray once tracing gets confident — writing over the full letterform is the bridge to copying. The first row always shows Dustin solid and dark.

Letter size

Three guide-line heights. Bigger lines mean fewer repetitions per page but easier control, and Dustin fits comfortably at all three — most families begin large and shrink from there.

Number of practice lines

Anywhere from 1 to 12 lines fits below the example row. A first session usually wants a few big lines; a daily practice sheet wants many smaller ones.
