How to use this worksheet
- For hearts, start at the dot at the bottom point, go up the left side, over both bumps and back down to the point.
- For triangles, start at the bottom-left corner, slant up to the tip, down to the right corner and back along the bottom line.
- After the two samples, draw the rest of the row yourself: six to eight more shapes.
What this worksheet teaches
The two shapes practice opposite skills. Hearts need smooth curves that meet in a point; triangles need straight slants and sharp corners. Alternating them every row stops the hand from running on autopilot and teaches it to switch between round and angular movements, which is part of forming letters like B, D, A and V. The large size gives room for generous movements, while drawing from a model builds planning and independence.
Play idea
Party time: turn the triangle rows into party hats by adding a pompom on every tip, and the heart rows into cards by writing one letter inside a few hearts.
