Lindsay in Cursive

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

Lindsay takes 3 strokes to write in cursive — the capital L on its own, then i-n-d-s-a-y in one continuous stroke; then go back to dot the i. 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.
