any ideas to help her guild the fine motor skills she needs to get this down? I'm not wanting to push her, just give her the skills she needs to master what she is working so hard at :)
Print out several handwriting practice sheets with her name on it that you can give her to work on while you are working on other thing. http://tools.atozteacherstuff.com/printable-handwriting-practice-worksheet-maker/
Let her color often and gradually go to the smaller crayons. I've seen the difference between kids who are allowed to color a lot and those who are not - big difference in motor skills!
Playdoh, stringing beads, baking bread (kneading dough), cutting paper
The problem is she gets frustrated because she doesn't yet have the control to trace the letters.
She has constant access to crayons, markers, and paper. She's always coloring!

This is what I was thinking!
Quoting grneyedormom:
Could she trace over large letters?
Tattoo question....
