How to use this worksheet

  • Find the large dot 1 in the middle at the top of the heart.
  • Dots 2 to 5 go up and over the left curve and down its side.
  • Dot 6 is the sharp point at the bottom; 7 to 10 climb the right side and go over the right curve.
  • Join 10 to 1 to close the heart.

What this worksheet teaches

A heart looks round, yet here it is built from straight strokes between dots, so children practice making a curve out of short lines, the way they will later build rounded letters. The two lines that meet at dot 6 are the longest on the page and need a steady hand to reach the point exactly. The dashed guide lets a four-year-old concentrate on the order of the numbers from 1 to 10 without searching the page.

Play idea

Make a card. Fold the sheet, color the heart red or pink and let your child dictate a short message for a grown-up to write inside, for a birthday, Valentine's Day or a grandparent.

Questions and answers

Questions from parents

Why does the heart start in the middle instead of at the side?
Starting at the dip means both halves are drawn in one smooth trip: the left curve, the point at 6, the right curve and back home to 1.
The curves look a little angular. Did my child do something wrong?
No. The dots are joined with straight lines, so the curves are made of short sections. Your child can round them off with a second line if they like.
Can a child who does not know all the numbers yet use this sheet?
Yes. Say each number together before drawing to it; the dashed line shows the way, so the sheet teaches the numerals as you go.
