ART
OF PEN MAKING
An illustrated article for young ladies from a 19th
Century Children's Magazine. It describes how to make the
correct pen point for a Quill pen using a pen knife. This would
be a good way to get a reluctant handwriter interested in the
subject. My boys love anything they can do with their pocket
knives, just don't tell them it was originally written for girls.
Handwriting Fonts for Children
|
My boys are 9 &
12 and we use Script S most often. After working with it for a
little while I realized that it is quite close to matching McGuffey's
Script Alphabet, linked at the top of the page. Other Fonts you
may already have on your computer include
Freehand 521, Jott43 and Lucinda Handwriting. |
