Hearts
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the bottom point, go up the left side and over the left bump into the dip.
- Continue over the right bump and back down to the point to close the heart.
- Lift the pencil between hearts and keep them standing on the bottom line.
What this worksheet teaches
At medium size the hearts are closer to letter size, so the curves come from small finger movements, and closing the point accurately is harder than on large hearts. The half guide first shows the size and spacing, then asks the child to repeat the shape alone. Six rows make it a longer session, good for 4–5 year olds who already manage the large version.
Play idea
Two reds: color the traced hearts pink and the freehand hearts red, then count how many of each are in the top row.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
How are these hearts different from the large ones?
They are smaller, with more per row and six rows instead of four or five.
My child's hearts don't close at the bottom. What helps?
Slow down for the last curve and aim for the starting point.
Should the hearts reach the top line?
Roughly, yes: they fill the space between the two lines, from the point on the bottom line to the bumps at the top.
