What's included in the Lilly worksheet

Letters to trace: 5; Capital L + 4 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #252; Girls' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: gentle; Diagonal strokes in y

Tracing Lilly is a gentle place to start — it spells out with 3 different letters over 5 positions, and they stay close to the plain lines and curves of early printing. The diagonal strokes in “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. Remind your child to finish “i” with the dot — dots and crosses are added last, after the letter body. The double “l” is a nice rhythm builder: tracing the same letter twice in a row helps the shape stick. Because Lilly was the #252 girls' name of 2025, a ready-made Lilly tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

Stroke by stroke, the letters of Lilly:

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.
i — A short line from the midline down to the baseline, then a dot floated above it — body first, dot last.
l — One tall straight line from the top line down to the baseline. Lilly uses it twice.
y — A short slant down to the baseline, met by a longer slant that keeps going below the line to hang its tail.

Watch the skyline of Lilly: “L” and “l” reach the top guide line, three tall letters out of 5. One letter hangs a tail beneath the baseline, so the sheet's lower guide line sees real use on this name.

Lilly runs five letters, a length it shares with 502 of the 1,918 names on this site. Its popularity is middle-of-the-list for 2025 girls' names — still ahead of 705 of the 953 here.

Lilly was the #252 girls' 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 Lilly

The slants in “y” deserve their own warm-up row — once those land cleanly, the rest of Lilly is familiar ground.
Chunk it as “Lil” + “ly”: a short pause in the middle of Lilly keeps attention fresh through all five letters.
The letter “y” in Lilly hangs below the line on purpose: show your child the lower guide line, then let the tail land on it.
Save the dot on “i” for last: letter body first, then lift the pencil and dot it.
Treat the repeated “l” as a bonus rep — tracing the same letter twice in a row is how a shape stops needing thought.
Say the letter heights out loud as a chant while tracing — “tall, small, tall, tall, tail” — the size pattern of Lilly sticks faster when it has words.

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 Lilly solid and dark.

Letter size

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

Number of practice lines

You choose how many rows of Lilly print: 1 to 12 under the example row. New tracers do better with fewer, larger lines; confident ones can fill a full twelve-line page.
