Print off your custom name practice page and grab a pot of playdough. I slide my printed playdough mats into this plastic sleeve.

Have your child pinch off a small amount of playdough and roll with the palm of their hands. Moving the hands up and down in this manor will result in a “snake” playdough.
Measure off some lengths on the letters and either cut with a playdough scissors (great to integrate if practice is needed) or pinch of the correct length sizes. Follow the dot to form the letters correctly.
I love this font particularly for this playdough mat because of the dot to encourage the correct formation of the letters. This seems to be a common development in preschool to address.
