Practise bubble letters
Colouring in a hollow bubble letter suits children from about four, once they can keep a crayon roughly inside a fat outline. Drawing the letters freehand, step by step from each letter’s page, suits eight and up, and adults lettering a sign.
- Pick a sheet
- The alphabet puts all 26 capitals on one page, or the small letters, or both on two pages. Your words sets a name or a short phrase as big as the paper allows.
- Choose the font
- For small hands, pick a font with roomy holes, Coiny or Bagel Fat One. Modak is the fattest of the five but squeezes its holes to slits that a crayon covers.
- Keep the scale
- Print at 100% rather than fit to page: the sheet already fills US Letter or A4, and shrinking it thins the outline.
The order to practise in
- 1I L T H E FStraight strokes only: the outline is a capsule bent at right angles, and the corners are all there is to round.
- 2O C U D JOne curve each, followed by a single bending outline; only O and D keep a hole.
- 3P B R A QHoles to keep open inside the outline, the skill most bubble letters need.
- 4V W M N K X Y ZDiagonals meeting at points, where the notches close up fastest.
- 5S GThe double curves come last: neither has a straight stroke to lean on.

- How do I print my name in bubble letters?
- Choose Your words, type the name, pick a font and the paper, and print: the name fills as much of the sheet as it can, and a long one breaks onto more lines.
- Which bubble font is best for colouring?
- The one with the most room inside its letters. Coiny keeps the biggest holes in A, B and R, Bagel Fat One in D, O, P and Q, while Modak presses them to thin slits.
- Can I print one big letter a page for a banner?
- Yes: every letter of the bubble alphabet has a page of its own whose sheet fills the paper with that letter alone, a capital about 13 cm tall on US Letter.
Want one letter on a page of its own? The bubble letters page opens each letter big, in 5 fonts, with a sheet for it alone.
