Why doesn’t the heart shape look like a real heart?

Plus — let’s face it — children’s activities like this can give parents and caregivers few moments of much-needed peace. But beyond the basics, there are clever ways to make the most of these simple yet engaging activities. Read more below to find out how!

It’s a question that has puzzled many: why doesn’t the popular heart shape look anything like an actual anatomical heart?

Unit studies: Ever consider a unit study focused on hearts? It could cover anatomy, history, and even mathematics. Count how many small heart shapes can fit into a larger heart, calculate the “area” within the lines, or explore how the heart pumps blood through the circulatory system.

Mixed media: Why limit yourselves to crayons and colored pencils? Bring out watercolors for a different texture. Try cutting fabric in the shape of hearts and gluing them onto the page along with sparkly heart-shaped gems. It can be a great tactile activity that also helps improve fine motor skills.

Talk about feelings: The heart is often associated with emotions. Use this as an opportunity to discuss feelings and emotions with your child. Ask them what makes their heart feel “happy” or “full,” and talk about different situations that evoke different feelings.

Story time: After coloring, encourage your child to create a short story or poem inspired by their art. What does the heart represent in their story? Is it a character, a magical object, or perhaps a symbol of courage?

Include the family: Make it a family activity by creating a large heart mural with individual coloring pages from each family member. Discuss what each person’s heart art represents to them, promoting both creativity and meaningful family discussions.

Holiday integration: As holidays like Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day approach, use the heart coloring pages as a seasonal activity. This helps kids connect the symbolism of the heart with expressions of love and affection.
