Urdu tracing sheets: the huroof-e-tahaji, joining forms, first words

Urdu tracing sheets are for children learning the huroof-e-tahaji, written right to left in Nastaliq. One sheet sets the first six letters from alif; another shows the letter be in its start, middle and end forms; a third has four simple words, each with a picture of its thing. Type a different word set, such as fruit words, and the same three styles carry it.

Frequently asked questions

Which letters come first?

The first sheet starts at alif and runs through the first six letters of the huroof-e-tahaji.

Why is the joining sheet about one letter?

It shows the letter be in its start, middle and end forms, so the child sees how the letter changes inside a word.

Can I ask for a different theme?

Yes. Type a theme as a direction, such as green theme. It is a request, and the samples stay as shown.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
