LITTLE PRACTICE. BIG CURIOSITY.
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.

EXPLORE THE GAMES
Open Writing, then use Games to choose “100 challenges · 3 levels.” This mixed route combines practice, examples, and open-ended activities. Completions earn stars, while adult observations and independent skill checks remain separate. Specialist games are still available from Games.
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.
Show me demonstrates the path before your child traces it. Start anywhere along the letter and lift between strokes. The star is optional. Use a finger, stylus, or mouse; keyboard instructions are below the paper.
Trace six simple three-letter words one lowercase letter at a time: map, bed, sun, red, sit, and hat. Follow the letter paths; the star is an optional guide. A completed word earns one star.
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.
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. Use Save to this device to keep pictures and labels before leaving, or download a printable copy.
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
There is no time limit for answering. Kindergarten waits for Next so children can read or hear the explanation. Follow your child’s pace and pause whenever they need a break.
Great teachers give children guidance and encouragement every day. Families can build on classroom lessons or use these games for extra practice alongside their homeschool curriculum. Choose what connects with your child’s interests and what you are teaching.
