How to use this worksheet

  • Each heart starts at its bottom point. Go up the left side, round the left bump and down into the dip in the middle.
  • Then go round the right bump and back down to the bottom point to close it – one smooth line.
  • Every heart stands on the lower guide line and reaches up to the top one; keep that size in the freehand half.

What this worksheet teaches

A heart is two mirrored curves meeting at a point and in a dip, which makes it a good lesson in symmetry and in changing the direction of a curve in the middle of a shape. Starting at the bottom point and returning to it trains finishing a closed shape precisely. Hearts are also motivating – many children want to draw them anyway – which makes them useful for extra practice at 4–5. The large size gives room to shape both bumps clearly, and half tracing shows whether the two halves stay balanced without dots.

Play idea

Make a greeting card: cut out the best row as a strip and glue it along the edge of a folded sheet as a border for a card to a grandparent.

Questions and answers

Questions from parents

One side of the heart is always bigger. How can I help?
Pause at the dip in the middle and look at the left bump before drawing the right one, so the two can match.
My child starts at the dip instead of the bottom point. Is that wrong?
Many people draw hearts from the top. On this card the start dot is at the bottom point; following it keeps the traced and freehand hearts alike.
Why do the hearts sit on the line?
Standing each heart on the lower guide line gives a clear starting point, just as letters sit on a line.
