Baby in Cursive
How to write the word baby in cursive — watch it drawn, trace every stroke, and take the free worksheet to paper.
baby takes 1 stroke to write in cursive — b-a-b-y in one continuous stroke. 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.
How to write baby in cursive
- 1Write b, a, b, y as one continuous stroke, joining each letter to the next without lifting the pencil.
Size is what makes baby readable: tall b, midline-height a, and below-the-line y. Uneven heights are the most common mistake, so check each letter against its lines.
How the letters in baby connect
Follow the joins as you write baby: b ends on a checkstroke that carries into the downcurve opening of a; a ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of b; b ends on a checkstroke that carries into the overcurve opening of y.
