Tracing Tilly is a gentle place to start — it spells out with 4 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 Tilly was the #884 girls' name of 2025, a ready-made Tilly tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.
The letters of Tilly, in the order they are written:
- T — A big line straight down, then a bar across the very top.
- 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. Tilly 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.
Three of Tilly's 5 letters stand full height on the guides — “T” and “l”. One letter hangs a tail beneath the baseline, so the sheet's lower guide line sees real use on this name.
Tilly runs five letters, a length it shares with 502 of the 1,918 names on this site. It is also one of the rarer picks on this site, sitting deeper in the 2025 girls' list yet still ahead of 107 of the 953 girls' names.
Tilly was the #884 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 Tilly
- The slants in “y” deserve their own warm-up row — once those land cleanly, the rest of Tilly is familiar ground.
- Chunk it as “Til” + “ly”: a short pause in the middle of Tilly keeps attention fresh through all five letters.
- Point out that “y” in Tilly dips below the baseline — the lower guide line on this sheet shows exactly how far the tail should go.
- Teach "body first, dot last" with “i” — finish the downstroke, lift, and only then place the dot.
- Treat the repeated “l” as a bonus rep — tracing the same letter twice in a row is how a shape stops needing thought.
- Give Tilly its height song: “tall, small, tall, tall, tail”. Chanting the sizes while tracing keeps tall letters tall and small letters small.
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 Tilly solid and dark.
Letter size
Small, medium, or large guide lines. Tilly fits at every size — start large for first attempts and step down as pencil control improves.
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.
