Write the letters of children's names on sheets of paper and laminate them. Place the laminated sheets of paper on a flat surface and provide children with dry-erase markers. Instruct children to use the markers to print over the letters in their names. The marker easily wipes off of the laminated surface, allowing children to repeatedly use this material to trace their names.
