The name Kirsten in cursive: stroke-by-stroke animation, letter joins, a trace check, and a free printable worksheet.

Kirsten takes 4 strokes to write in cursive — K-i-r-s-t-e-n in one continuous stroke; then go back to dot the i, cross the t, and finish the K. The animation below draws it on the writing lines exactly the way children practice it in Scribble; trace it after, then take the worksheet to paper.
