Tracing Hazel is a step up from the basics — all 5 of its letters are different, and a handful of them ask for a steadier pencil than plain lines do. The diagonal strokes in “z” are the trickiest part — slanted lines are usually the last strokes young writers control, so expect extra passes there. It starts with a capital “H” — straight strokes only, which makes it a forgiving first letter to land. The tall letter “l” reaches the top guide line — a common slip is stopping it at the height of the small letters instead.
Hazel was the #21 girls' name in the U.S. for 2025, per the Social Security Administration's public-domain baby-names data. Every worksheet is a single US Letter page (prints on A4 too) with three-line handwriting guides and a descender line.
Tips for tracing Hazel
- Practice the slanted strokes in “z” on their own first — diagonals are the hardest lines for young writers, and isolating them makes the full name feel easier.
- At 5 letters, Hazel fits a full line comfortably — have your child trace the whole name in one go, then pause before the next line.
- Start every letter at the top. Correct habits now are far easier than fixing them later.
- Finish each session with one try writing Hazel on blank paper — tracing builds the motor pattern, writing from memory locks it in.
Customization options
Font style
Dotted letters are the classic preschool tracing outline; solid light-gray letters are the next step, for writing directly over the full letterform. The example row of Hazel always prints in solid dark letters for reference.
Letter size
Small, medium, or large guide lines. Hazel fits at every size — start large for first attempts and step down as pencil control improves.
Number of practice lines
Set 1 to 12 practice lines below the example row. Fewer, larger lines for beginners; more, smaller lines for daily practice sheets.

Does Hazel have any letters that go below the line?
No — every letter in Hazel sits between the baseline and the top guide line, with no tails below the line and no dots to add afterward. That makes Hazel feel especially tidy to trace, and it's a good name for reinforcing consistent letter height early on.
