What makes a heart a heart?
A heart shape is made from two curves that meet at a dip in the middle at the top and a point at the bottom. It is symmetrical: fold it down the middle and both halves match exactly. The shape is a symbol and does not look like a real human heart.

How to draw a heart
Start at the dip in the middle of the top. Curve up and round to the left like half a balloon and slide down to the point. Go back to the start and do the same on the right side. Two halves that meet at the bottom.
Activity: Fold-and-cut hearts
Fold a piece of paper in half. Draw half a heart against the fold, like a big letter C with a pointed bottom, and help your child cut it out. Open it up to find a whole, perfectly matched heart.
Heart or not?
Hearts drawn by young children often come out lopsided or without a point. That is part of learning. Folding paper hearts shows them that both sides should match.

Heart questions
Why does the heart shape not look like a real heart?
The heart shape is a symbol that people have used for hundreds of years. A real heart is a muscle with a different shape, which can be a fun thing to look up together.
Is a heart a geometric shape?
Not in the way a square or triangle is, because it has curves and no fixed measurements. It is still a great shape for practising curves, symmetry and pencil control.
