Kristin in Cursive

Watch the name Kristin drawn in cursive stroke by stroke, trace it on the writing lines, and print a free practice worksheet.

Kristin takes 5 strokes to write in cursive — K-r-i-s-t-i-n in one continuous stroke; then go back to dot the i (×2), 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.
