What's included in the Santino worksheet

Letters to trace: 7; Capital S + 6 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #353; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; No diagonal strokes

Tracing Santino is a step up from the basics — it spells out with 6 different letters over 7 positions, and a handful of them ask for a steadier pencil than plain lines do. Remind your child to finish “i” with the dot — dots and crosses are added last, after the letter body. It starts with a capital “S”, one rounded stroke: begin at the top and keep the curve moving rather than lifting partway. The tall letter “t” reaches the top guide line — a common slip is stopping it at the height of the small letters instead. Because Santino was the #353 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Santino tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

The letters of Santino, in the order they are written:

S — One snaking curve: start near the top right, swing up and over to the left, cut back through the middle, and finish curling to the left at the bottom.
a — Curve round like a c, close the circle, then a short line down its right side.
n — A short line down, then back up and over a single hump to the baseline. Santino uses it twice.
t — A tallish line down that curves gently at the bottom, crossed with a short bar at the midline rather than the top.
i — A short line from the midline down to the baseline, then a dot floated above it — body first, dot last.
o — The same closed circle drawn half-size, sitting between the midline and the baseline.

The tall strokes in Santino come from “S” and “t” — two of its 7 letters reach the top guide line. The rest are small letters with nothing hanging below the baseline — only the floating dot on “i” sits above the letter body.

At seven letters, Santino is on the long side — only 206 of the 1,918 names here run longer. Its popularity is middle-of-the-list for 2025 boys' names — still ahead of 620 of the 965 here.

Santino was the #353 boys' name in the U.S. for 2025, per the Social Security Administration's public-domain baby-names data. One page is all it takes: three-line handwriting guides with a descender line below them, sized for US Letter and printing cleanly on A4.

Tips for tracing Santino

Santino is 7 letters, so split early sessions in half: trace the first 4 letters one day and the rest the next, then put the whole name together.
The dot on “i” comes at the very end of Santino: trace every letter body, then go back and dot.
Give Santino its height song: “tall, small, small, tall, small, small, small”. Chanting the sizes while tracing keeps tall letters tall and small letters small.
Finish each session with one try writing Santino 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 Santino always prints in solid dark letters for reference.

Letter size

Pick from three letter sizes. A longer name like Santino keeps all 7 letters on one line at medium or small; on large, use the lines for a few letters at a time instead.

Number of practice lines

You choose how many rows of Santino 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.
