Things to talk about while coloring
The heart shape stands for love and caring, even though a real heart looks quite different. Your real heart is a muscle about the size of your fist, and it pumps blood all around your body day and night, even while you sleep. Have your child put a hand on their chest to feel the beat, do ten jumping jacks, and notice how it speeds up.
Coloring ideas
Color the big center heart red, pink, or purple, then give each of the six small hearts its own color. Older kids can fill the big heart with stripes, zigzags, or tiny hearts, and the extra thick outline makes this one of the easiest pages for toddlers using chunky crayons.
A little learning
Counting the six small hearts, then pointing to the big one and the little ones, mixes counting with size words like big, small, biggest, and smallest.
