Hearts
How to use this worksheet
- Begin with the solid heart: from the dark dot on its bottom tip, climb the left side, curve into the dip, climb over the right bump and come back down to the tip.
- Trace the dashed hearts in that same order, with a lift of the pencil before each new one.
- In the empty half, draw more hearts of the same size; six to nine hearts fill a row.
What this worksheet teaches
Drawing a heart freehand means making two matching curves that meet at the dip on top and at the point below. After tracing a few, a 4–5 year old has the shape in mind and can try it without help, comparing the result with the dashed hearts right beside it. Symmetry, closing a shape and keeping a steady size along a line all carry over to handwriting, where letters must match in size across a word.
Variation to try
Family hearts: in the free half of each row, your child draws one heart for each person in the family and says whose heart it is. The last heart in a row can belong to a pet or a favorite toy.
