    These free printable alphabet tracing strips feature pumpkins that are a great fit for your fall or pumpkin preschool theme! Download them with uppercase letters, lowercase letters, or both on the same strip and laminate them to use again and again.

    Three printable pumpkin themed letter tracing strips. One has letters a, b, c, and d with dotted letters to trace. Behind and to the left is a printable with letters E, F, G, and H with letters to trace. In the bottom right is a page with uppercase and lowercase letters on the same page. Ii, Jj, Kk, and Ll

    Tracing letters is beneficial to early learners. It helps introduce the shapes and forms of letters, develop fine motor skills, and build writing confidence. The bright, cheerful pumpkins are sure to catch your little learner's eye and make practicing handwriting with these writing strips fun!

    Should I teach uppercase or lowercase letters first?

    There are several schools of thought regarding teaching children their letters and how to write.

    Some believe in teaching children uppercase letters first. They argue these letters are easier to tell apart and are less likely to be reversed than lowercase letters.

    Others advocate teaching lowercase letters first since most letters are used in their lowercase forms. Advocates of lowercase letters first also believe that lowercase letters are easier to form because they involve fewer strokes.

    And, of course, another camp believes in teaching children how to write uppercase and lowercase letters simultaneously!

    Whichever philosophy you believe in, there is a set of pumpkin letter tracing strips for you. I made separate sets for uppercase and lowercase letters as well as a combined set to teach both forms at the same time. Use whichever you prefer for your curriculum.

    How to use letter tracing strips

    This post may include affiliate links which means I may earn a commission on qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you.

    The simplest way to use these letter tracing pages is simply printing them and having your child trace the letters with a crayon, pencil, or marker.

    However, these pages were designed to be laminated, cut into strips, and used again and again with fine tip dry erase markers. Have your child erase their own work for extra fine motor practice!

    For an easy go bag activity, hole punch the upper left corner of each card and place them on a binder ring.
