Hearts
How to use this worksheet
- Each heart starts at its bottom point: go up the left side, over the left bump into the dip at the top, over the right bump and down to the point again.
- Lift the pencil and move to the bottom point of the next heart.
- Show your child the solid model heart first and trace it with a finger before using the pencil.
What this worksheet teaches
A heart packs two things young children find hard into one shape: smooth curves and sharp changes of direction, at the point and in the dip. Tracing it teaches the hand to slow down for a turn and then flow again. Because the heart is symmetrical, children also start to notice that the right side should mirror the left, which helps visual planning. Standing on the line builds the habit of placing shapes on a baseline.
Play idea
After tracing, your child chooses one heart in each row for a family member and colors it in, saying one thing they like about that person.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
The dip at the top disappears. How can we keep it?
Pause in the dip for a moment before starting the second bump; that pause keeps the shape.
Is a heart too hard at 4?
With full tracing and a large size it is manageable. Expect lopsided hearts at first; direction matters more than neatness.
Why does the heart start at the bottom?
Starting at the point lets the pencil draw both bumps in one line and finish at the same spot.
