I am trying to find templates for teaching printing of the alphabet to small chidren. Letters can be traced over for young kids. I have been searching for 20 minutes on the net. Can anyone help please?

Ray Larabie has a free font called [Primer Print](http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/larabie/primer-print/) that you could download and use to make templates of any words, size and layout you want.
