Patty in Cursive

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

Patty takes 4 strokes to write in cursive — the capital P on its own, then a-t-t-y in one continuous stroke; then go back to cross the t (×2). 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.
