Love in Cursive

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

love takes 1 stroke to write in cursive — l-o-v-e 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.
