Laurel is a solid practice name: a capital “L” and 5 lowercase letters that mix easy lines and curves with a few strokes taking more control. The tall letter “l” reaches the top guide line — a common slip is stopping it at the height of the small letters instead. Because Laurel was the #734 girls' name of 2025, a ready-made Laurel tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.
Stroke by stroke, the letters of Laurel:
- L — One big line down, then turn the corner and draw a bar along the bottom without lifting the pencil. Capital L turns a corner; lowercase l is the simplest letter in the alphabet — a single tall stick with nothing added.
- a — Curve round like a c, close the circle, then a short line down its right side.
- u — A short line down, curve along the bottom, back up — then a small line down the right side to finish.
- r — A short line down, then trace back up and add a little curved arm over to the right — and stop there.
- e — A short bar across the middle, then curve up, over, and round like a c underneath it.
- l — One tall straight line from the top line down to the baseline.
Two of Laurel's 6 letters stand full height on the guides — “L” and “l”. The rest stay between the midline and the baseline with nothing hanging below, which gives a finished row of Laurel an even, tidy silhouette.
Laurel 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 girls' list yet still ahead of 249 of the 953 girls' names.
Laurel was the #734 girls' name in the U.S. for 2025, per the Social Security Administration's public-domain baby-names data. Each sheet prints as a single page on US Letter or A4, carrying three-line handwriting guides with a fourth descender line underneath.
Tips for tracing Laurel
- Split Laurel down the middle: trace “Lau”, pause, then “rel” — two short chunks are easier to hold in mind than six letters at once.
- Say the letter heights out loud as a chant while tracing — “tall, small, small, small, small, tall” — the size pattern of Laurel sticks faster when it has words.
- Finish each session with one try writing Laurel 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 Laurel always prints in solid dark letters for reference.
Letter size
Pick from three letter sizes. With 6 letters, Laurel sits well at any of them, so let your child's control decide: large while strokes are new, smaller once they steady.
Number of practice lines
The sheet holds 1 to 12 practice lines under the example row. Start low — three or four lines is plenty for a first session — and add more as sessions get longer.
