What's included in the Stella worksheet

Letters to trace: 6; Capital S + 5 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #52; Girls' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: gentle; No diagonal strokes

Stella is a friendly first name to trace: a capital “S” and 5 lowercase letters, nearly all of them the simple lines and curves children learn first. The double “l” is a nice rhythm builder: tracing the same letter twice in a row helps the shape stick. The tall letters “t” and “l” reach the top guide line — a common slip is stopping them at the height of the small letters instead. Because Stella was the #52 girls' name of 2025, a ready-made Stella tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

The letters of Stella, 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.
t — A tallish line down that curves gently at the bottom, crossed with a short bar at the midline rather than the top.
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. Stella uses it twice.
a — Curve round like a c, close the circle, then a short line down its right side.

Four of Stella's 6 letters stand full height on the guides — “S”, “t” and “l”. The rest stay between the midline and the baseline with nothing hanging below, which gives a finished row of Stella an even, tidy silhouette.

Stella runs six letters, the single most common name length on this site (562 of the 1,918 names). Popularity puts it in the 2025 girls' top 100, ahead of 901 of this site's 953 girls' names.

Stella was the #52 girls' 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 Stella

Chunk it as “Ste” + “lla”: a short pause in the middle of Stella keeps attention fresh through all six letters.
The double “l” in Stella is a built-in rhythm drill: two identical shapes back to back, so the second one should come out steadier than the first.
Give Stella its height song: “tall, tall, small, tall, tall, small”. Chanting the sizes while tracing keeps tall letters tall and small letters small.
Close with a single unguided Stella on scrap paper. Tracing teaches the movement; writing it from memory makes it stick.

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 Stella always prints in solid dark letters for reference.

Letter size

Pick from three letter sizes. With 6 letters, Stella 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

You choose how many rows of Stella 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.
