How to use this worksheet

  • Begin at the dot on the bottom point of the solid heart, go up the left side, over the left bump into the dip, then over the right bump and back down to the point.
  • Trace the five or six dashed hearts in the row in the same order, always starting and finishing at the bottom point.
  • Where the guide stops, your child keeps adding hearts of the same width, leaving a small gap between neighbors.

What this worksheet teaches

A heart joins two mirror-image curves at a sharp point, so the hand has to make a curve and then match it on the other side. Checking whether both halves are the same size builds an eye for symmetry, and returning to the exact start point trains accurate closing of shapes, which later helps with letters like a, d and g that must close without gaps. The two guide lines also teach keeping a shape inside a fixed height, just as letters sit on the line.

Play idea

Heart garland: cut the finished card into its five strips and tape them end to end. Your child marks the favorite heart in each strip with a dot of color.

Questions and answers

Questions from parents

One half of the heart is always bigger. How can I help?
Ask your child to pause in the dip at the top and look at the first bump before drawing the second, aiming for the same height.
Should each heart be drawn in one line?
Yes, the model is one continuous line from the bottom point and back, so the pencil stays down for the whole heart.
Why is only half of each row traced?
The dashed hearts show size and spacing; the empty half is for trying the shape independently.
