Trace big and little letters
Choose a letter from A to Z and explore both shapes. Look for what stays the same and what changes: uppercase A and lowercase a can look quite different.
LITTLE PRACTICE. BIG CURIOSITY.
Kindergarten Writing Games
Tracing gives children a playful way to notice how letters are formed. Pip’s writing garden includes letter tracing, Word Trails, Sentence Garden, and Picture Journal. Start with familiar letter shapes, then explore words, sentences, and your child’s own ideas.

What your child can practice
Watch, then try
Show me demonstrates the path before your child traces it. Begin at the star and lift between strokes. Use a finger, stylus, or mouse; keyboard instructions are below the paper.
Word Trails
Trace six simple three-letter words one lowercase letter at a time: map, bed, sun, red, sit, and hat. Follow the starting star and dotted paths. A completed word earns one star.
Sentence Garden
Arrange word tiles to write six short sentences. Start with a capital, leave spaces between words, and choose a period at the end. Undo lets children revise, and Help me explains the model.
Picture Journal
Draw an idea and add a label. Children can try their own spelling, choose a suggested word, or ask a grown-up to help. Invite them to explain why they chose their idea. Stars recognize participation; pictures and labels stay on the current page and are not uploaded or saved.
Grow a writing garden
Each completed letter shape earns a writing star. Revisiting a letter gives more practice without adding duplicate stars. The guides support exploration; they are not a handwriting assessment.
A FEW MINUTES TOGETHER
How to get started
- Choose a familiar letter and say its name together.
- Watch its path, then invite your child to trace at a comfortable pace.
- Try the other letter shape, or stop after one successful attempt.
There is no time limit for answering. A correct answer moves to the next question after five seconds; Next moves on sooner. Follow your child’s pace and pause whenever they need a break.
Learning at home, your way
