Tracing Lily is a gentle place to start — it spells out with 3 different letters over 4 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.
Lily was the #18 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 Lily
- Practice the slanted strokes in “y” on their own first — diagonals are the hardest lines for young writers, and isolating them makes the full name feel easier.
- Point out that “y” in Lily dips below the baseline — the lower guide line on this sheet shows exactly how far the tail should go.
- Save the dot on “i” for last: letter body first, then lift the pencil and dot it.
- At 4 letters, Lily 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 Lily 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 Lily always prints in solid dark letters for reference.
Letter size
Small, medium, or large guide lines. Lily 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.
