Editable Name Tracing Worksheets – 15 Fun Themes for Preschool & Kindergarten
Learning to write your name is one of the first and most exciting milestones for young learners. These editable name tracing worksheets are designed for preschool, kindergarten, and early elementary students to build handwriting skills in a fun and engaging way. With 15 unique themes to choose from, kids stay motivated while practicing their letters and developing fine motor skills.
As a homeschooling mom of four (including one child with autism), I’ve created countless printable packs to support learning at home. One thing I’ve learned is that variety keeps kids engaged. That’s why I designed this pack with different themes, from dinosaurs to fairy tales, so every page feels fresh and exciting.
Teaching Tip: Slip these worksheets into dry erase pockets for repeated practice. Students can trace their name, wipe, and start again, perfect for morning work or literacy centers.
