Handwriting Tips FOR THE CHRISTMAS FREE PRINTABLE CURSIVE HANDWRITING WORKSHEETS
Below you will find a few tips to help with these Christmas free printable cursive handwriting worksheets (or any handwriting worksheets for that matter).
Tip #1: Struggling Writers
If your kiddo struggles with holding their pencil or marker, be sure to read 5 Tips for Pencil Grasp Development. It gives ideas for how to help the muscles in their hands. Another post to check out is Pencil Grasp: 5 Fine Motor Activities.
Both these posts will equip with you with the dos and donts of helping your kids write -such as only using a pencil grip as a last resort and using broken pieces of crayons.
If you want your kids to work on tracing first then try a few of the fine motor worksheets and activities that are listed at Fine Motor.
Tip 2: Saving Paper and Resources
I am the first to admit that I LOVE paper- the brighter and heavier it is the better. If you would love to save paper, simply print the pages and either:
- laminate the pages
- slip the pages into protective sheets
Doing this allows your kids to reuse the sheets and provides ample practice. Simply hand them a few dry erase markers or dry erase crayons. I have also found that using rubbing alcohol cleans the pages quite nicely.
I have added a list of the paper and dry erase markers that my kids love to use.

Tip #3: Include your older kids
Make copies of the blank handwriting sheets so that you can give your older kids sentences or paragraphs to write as well. You can either use a favorite Christmas book and have them write a paragraph or two. Don’t forget that they can also write the Nativity story from the Bible.
