How to use this worksheet

  • Start at the dark dot on the bottom tip, go up the left side and round the left bump into the dip at the top middle.
  • Continue round the right bump and down to the tip where you started.
  • Trace the one dashed heart, then draw your own hearts along the band, each standing on the bottom line.

What this worksheet teaches

A heart joins two round bumps that meet in a dip at the top and a sharp point at the bottom, so the child must switch between rounded and pointed turns within one shape. Drawing it from a model trains a 5–6 year old to keep both halves the same size, a good check of visual comparison and early symmetry. The mix of curves and sharp turns is useful training for the varied strokes of handwriting.

Play idea

Valentine row: when a row is finished, your child picks the most even heart and fills it in with red. At the end of the sheet there are six red hearts, one for each row.

Questions and answers

Questions from parents

Where should a heart start?
At the bottom tip, where the dark dot is. The line goes up the left side first and comes back down the right side.
One half of the heart is always bigger. What helps?
Ask your child to look at the dip in the middle of the top; the two bumps should be the same height on each side of it.
Is drawing hearts alone too hard at five?
Hearts are one of the harder shapes. If this sheet is frustrating, start with a hearts sheet with full or half tracing.
