What's included in the Thomas worksheet

Letters to trace: 6; Capital T + 5 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #34; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; No diagonal strokes

Tracing Thomas is a step up from the basics — all 6 of its letters are different, and a handful of them ask for a steadier pencil than plain lines do. It starts with a capital “T” — straight strokes only, which makes it a forgiving first letter to land. The tall letter “h” reaches the top guide line — a common slip is stopping it at the height of the small letters instead. Because Thomas was the #34 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Thomas tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

Forming the letters of Thomas, one at a time:

T — A big line straight down, then a bar across the very top.
h — A tall line down, then trace back up halfway and over the hump to the baseline.
o — The same closed circle drawn half-size, sitting between the midline and the baseline.
m — A short line down, then up and over one hump, and up and over a second hump — two humps, evenly sized.
a — Curve round like a c, close the circle, then a short line down its right side.
s — The same snake drawn half-size between the midline and the baseline.

The tall strokes in Thomas come from “T” and “h” — two of its 6 letters reach the top guide line. The rest stay between the midline and the baseline with nothing hanging below, which gives a finished row of Thomas an even, tidy silhouette.

Thomas runs six letters, the single most common name length on this site (562 of the 1,918 names). Popularity puts it in the 2025 boys' top 100, ahead of 931 of this site's 965 boys' names.

Thomas was the #34 boys' 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 Thomas

Split Thomas down the middle: trace “Tho”, pause, then “mas” — two short chunks are easier to hold in mind than six letters at once.
Give Thomas its height song: “tall, tall, small, small, small, small”. Chanting the sizes while tracing keeps tall letters tall and small letters small.
Finish each session with one try writing Thomas 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 Thomas always prints in solid dark letters for reference.

Letter size

The size option changes the guide-line height. Thomas fits at every setting; the large lines are the friendliest starting point, and stepping down makes a natural next milestone.

Number of practice lines

Anywhere from 1 to 12 lines fits below the example row. A first session usually wants a few big lines; a daily practice sheet wants many smaller ones.
