What's included in the Ivory worksheet

Letters to trace: 5; Capital I + 4 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #378; Girls' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: challenging; Diagonal strokes in v, y

Expect Ivory to take more passes than most: from the capital “I” onward, its 5 letters include several shapes that sit at the harder end of what children print. The diagonal strokes in “v” and “y” are the trickiest part — slanted lines are usually the last strokes young writers control, so expect extra passes there. Watch the tail on “y”: it drops below the baseline onto the lower guide line. Because Ivory was the #378 girls' name of 2025, a ready-made Ivory tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

Forming the letters of Ivory, one at a time:

I — One straight line down the middle; many school styles add a short bar across the top and the bottom to cap it.
v — The same two slants drawn half-size, meeting in a point on the baseline.
o — The same closed circle drawn half-size, sitting between the midline and the baseline.
r — A short line down, then trace back up and add a little curved arm over to the right — and stop there.
y — A short slant down to the baseline, met by a longer slant that keeps going below the line to hang its tail.

Only the capital I reaches the top guide line in Ivory — every other letter keeps a low profile. One letter hangs a tail beneath the baseline, so the sheet's lower guide line sees real use on this name.

Ivory runs five letters, a length it shares with 502 of the 1,918 names on this site. Popularity-wise it lands in the broad middle of the 2025 girls' list, still ahead of 581 of the 953 girls' names here.

Ivory was the #378 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 Ivory

Open each session with “v” and “y” on their own: slanted lines are the strokes children control last, so isolating them first makes Ivory feel shorter than it is.
Try “Ivo”, breathe, then “ry” — halving Ivory turns one long word into two easy wins.
The letter “y” in Ivory hangs below the line on purpose: show your child the lower guide line, then let the tail land on it.
Say the letter heights out loud as a chant while tracing — “tall, small, small, small, tail” — the size pattern of Ivory sticks faster when it has words.
Close with a single unguided Ivory on scrap paper. Tracing teaches the movement; writing it from memory makes it stick.

Customization options

Font style

Two tracing styles: dotted outlines — the classic preschool form — or solid light-gray letters for writing directly over the full shape. Whichever you pick, the example row keeps Ivory in solid dark letters for reference.

Letter size

Small, medium, or large guide lines. Ivory fits at every size — start large for first attempts and step down as pencil control improves.

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.
