Hearts
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dark dot on the bottom point of the model heart, go up and around the left bump, dip into the middle at the top, then go over the right bump and back down to the point.
- Trace the dashed heart once in the same order.
- Draw about eight more hearts in the row on your own, keeping every point on the bottom line and a little space between hearts.
What this worksheet teaches
A heart is a symmetry exercise: two matching curves that meet at a dip at the top and a point at the bottom. Making the right half mirror the left one takes planning and careful looking, the same comparison children use to keep letters in proportion. The line also has two sharp turns inside a smooth movement, at the dip and at the point, so your child practices controlled stops without breaking the flow. Drawing from the model at 6–8 makes every heart a small test of both skills.
Play idea
Heart pairs: after finishing, your child picks the two hearts in each row that look most alike and joins them with a small arrow, then explains what makes them match.
