Tracing & Drawing

Trace letters, numbers and shapes, or switch to a blank drawing board. Works with mouse, touch or a tablet stylus.

For younger children, an adult can help choose a letter or number. Drawings stay on the device unless you choose Save Picture.
Tip: Follow the dotted guide slowly. There is no score — this activity is for relaxed practice and creativity.

How to use tracing without turning it into a test

Tracing is most useful when children move slowly enough to notice the direction of each line. This page includes letters, numbers, basic shapes and a free-draw mode so practice can move from following a guide to creating something independently.

A simple 5-minute routine

  1. Choose one letter, number or shape rather than trying every option.
  2. Trace the guide once while saying its name aloud.
  3. Clear the board and try the same movement again.
  4. Switch to Free Draw and use the shape or letter inside a small picture.

What children can practice

The activity can support pencil-control style movements, visual tracking and shape recognition. A mouse, finger or stylus does not feel exactly like a pencil on paper, so this is a digital supplement rather than a replacement for real handwriting practice.

For parents and caregivers

Avoid scoring neatness. Instead, notice whether the child starts in a sensible place, follows the direction of the guide and can explain what they drew. Younger children may benefit from larger movements and shorter sessions.
