What's included in the Timothy worksheet

Letters to trace: 7; Capital T + 6 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #203; Boys' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; Diagonal strokes in y

Tracing Timothy 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. 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. Because Timothy was the #203 boys' name of 2025, a ready-made Timothy tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

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

T — A big line straight down, then a bar across the very top. Both forms are a crossed line, but the capital wears its bar on top while the small t is crossed lower down, at the midline — swapping the two is a very common early mix-up.
i — A short line from the midline down to the baseline, then a dot floated above it — body first, dot last.
m — A short line down, then up and over one hump, and up and over a second hump — two humps, evenly sized.
o — The same closed circle drawn half-size, sitting between the midline and the baseline.
t — A tallish line down that curves gently at the bottom, crossed with a short bar at the midline rather than the top.
h — A tall line down, then trace back up halfway and over the hump to the baseline.
y — A short slant down to the baseline, met by a longer slant that keeps going below the line to hang its tail.

The tall strokes in Timothy come from “T”, “t” and “h” — three of its 7 letters reach the top guide line. One letter hangs a tail beneath the baseline, so the sheet's lower guide line sees real use on this name.

At seven letters, Timothy 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 764 of the 965 here.

Timothy was the #203 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 Timothy

Open each session with “y” on its own: slanted lines are the strokes children control last, so isolating them first makes Timothy feel shorter than it is.
At 7 letters, Timothy is a lot to take in one pass — cover the first 4 letters in one session and the remainder in the next before joining them up.
Before starting, trace the tail of “y” with a finger down to the lower guide line — Timothy is a name that uses the line below the baseline.
The dot on “i” comes at the very end of Timothy: trace every letter body, then go back and dot.
Say the letter heights out loud as a chant while tracing — “tall, small, small, small, tall, tall, tail” — the size pattern of Timothy sticks faster when it has words.
Close with a single unguided Timothy on scrap paper. Tracing teaches the movement; writing it from memory makes it stick.

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 Timothy solid and dark.

Letter size

Pick from three letter sizes. A longer name like Timothy 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 Timothy 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.
