How to teach this
Start on the dot in the dip at the top. Go up and round the left bump, then curve down to the point at the bottom. From the point, go up the right side, round the right bump and back down into the dip. Bump, point, bump. Some children find it easier to draw a heart as two halves, each starting at the dip and ending at the point, and that is fine too. The bottom point is the tricky part: stop there, then turn up.
Watch for: Rounding the bottom so the heart looks like a circle with a dent. The bottom comes to a sharp point. One bump much bigger than the other. Trace slowly round both; they are the same size. Starting at the point at the bottom. It works, but starting in the dip makes the two bumps match more easily.
Common questions about heart tracing
- How do you teach a child to draw a heart?
- From the dip at the top: up and round the left bump, down to the point, then up the right side and round the right bump back to the dip. Saying bump, point, bump helps.
- Can my child draw a heart in two halves?
- Yes. Draw the left half from the dip to the point, then the right half from the dip to the point. Both ways give a heart.
- At what age can children draw a heart?
- Most can trace one at four and draw one alone by five or six. The curves and the point together make it one of the later shapes.
