A word that starts with I is Ice cream.
"Ice" means frozen water, and "cream" means cream!

How to write uppercase "I" and lowercase "i"
You write uppercase "I" in 1 stroke.
Start at the very top line (the 1st line) of the 4 lines, and go straight down to the 3rd line.
The Alphabet "I" on this coloring page has short line caps at the top and bottom.
This shape helps keep it from getting confused with a lowercase "l" or the number "1".
You write lowercase "i" in 2 strokes.
For ①, draw a straight line down from the 2nd line to the 3rd line.
For ②, add a little dot right above the line.
It looks nice and neat if you put the dot between the 1st line and the 2nd line.
If you forget the dot, it will look like a different letter, so be careful!
Alphabet "I" has 2 ways to read it

How to Color Alphabet "I"
Big "I" and "i" come with stroke-order color hints
Color inside the big "I" and "i" at the top right with your favorite colors.
The stroke order numbers are written in red for ① and blue for ②.
For the lowercase "i", if you color the vertical line red and the dot blue, you can easily see the order to write it!
It will also look super cute if you use pink or light blue to match the ice cream.
Think about the flavors as you color the ice cream
It is fun to think about what flavor your ice cream will be before you color it!
Pink is great for strawberry, brown for chocolate, light green for melon, and light yellow for vanilla.
Color the cone ocher, and make every other stripe dark brown to make the pattern pop!
If you leave a little bit of white on the edge of the ice cream, it will look shiny.
Try coloring the small pictures too
An igloo is made of snow, so leave it white and lightly color the lines between the blocks light blue to make it look cool and icy!
For the ink bottle, try coloring the ink inside dark blue or black, and make the cap gray.
Color the iguana green or yellow-green to make it look real!
Place your letter on the 3rd line when you trace
At the bottom right, there are 4 each of light gray "I" and "i" lined up.
Use a pencil and trace them slowly in the correct stroke order.
The trick is to place the bottom of the letter right on the 3rd line of the 4 lines.
Don't forget to add the dot on the lowercase "i"!
When you finish tracing, try writing Alphabet "I" by yourself in the empty space on the right!
