Does anyone know a place where I can create or just download printable worksheets for Russian handwriting practice? TIA

But a heads-up... they use the Russian keyboard mapping for typing the Cyrillic letters (unless they've changed in the last couple years). If you've only ever typed in English it's a quick recipe for making your head explode. ;)

It's easy to get Cyrillic stickers and add them to your keyboard. Voila: no explosion! :D

It's not the stickers, but the fact that I touch-type in English and the mapping isn't phonetic... so I "hear" the Russian in my head and my fingers want to go to the right sounds rather than the right characters. I did make up a little card to look at with the mapping, but my poor little brain... LOL

It was still worth it... my Cyrillic cursive is legible but not gorgeous. And for making handwriting sheets? I'd probably be passing along some bad habits!

Thank you! I spent half a day googling it and came up with nothing.
