Hearts
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dark dot on the bottom tip, curve up the left side and over the left bump into the dip in the middle, then over the right bump and back down to the tip.
- Trace the dashed heart in the same order, then fill the rest of the row; there are ten to twelve hearts in all.
- Make each heart reach from the bottom line to the top line, with a small gap before the next.
What this worksheet teaches
A heart is two matching curves that meet at two points, the dip at the top and the tip at the bottom. Drawing it in one movement trains a curve that changes direction at a sharp point and returns to its own start, and it asks the child to make the two sides look alike. That sense of symmetry and of closing a shape helps later with numbers and letters that have two bumps, such as 3, B and m.
Play idea
Heart cards: your child colors the best free heart in each row and cuts out the bottom row to make a small card for someone in the family.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Why start at the bottom tip?
It gives a clear start and finish in the same place, and the model on this card is drawn from the tip up the left side.
The two bumps are different sizes. Does it matter?
A little difference is normal at 5–6. Compare the free hearts with the model and aim for bumps of the same height.
Is the dip in the middle important?
Yes. It is where the direction changes, and a clear dip makes the heart recognizable.
