How to Download & Print Them
Downloading these free printables is quick and easy. Scroll to the template section in this post and click the “Get it here” button. A PDF file will open, and from there you can save it to your computer (or phone) and print as many pages as you need.
For best results, print the PDF file at 100% or Actual Size so the hearts don't shrink or stretch. They are designed for standard 8.5 x 11-inch paper.
Paper Tips (Regular Paper vs. Cardstock)
- Regular printer paper is perfect for coloring, tracing, and quick crafts.
- Cardstock is best if you're making decorations that need to hold their shape, such as garlands, banners, gift tags, or folded 3D hearts.
- Want templates that last longer? You can laminate finished hearts and use them as reusable classroom decor, placemats, or even stencils.
Heart Templates
This one offers six classic heart outlines with ample space inside for coloring, writing, and decorating. They're perfect for making Valentine's Day cards or sweet note hearts kids can tape to doors and lockers. You can also cut them out and turn them into a simple heart garland or bulletin board display.
This page has a bunch of medium-sized hearts that are just right for quick classroom crafts and easy cutting practice. Use them for Valentine exchange cards (write names/messages inside), sticker collages, or heart "coupons" kids can give to parents and grandparents. They also work great as gift tags on treat bags.
These smaller hearts are ideal when you need a lot of hearts fast. Kids can color a whole set in different patterns (stripes, polka dots, zigzags) and use them to decorate posters, make confetti-style table scatter, or create a heart mosaic craft. They're also great for counting, sorting, and pattern activities for younger kids.
If you're looking for lots and lots of tiny hearts, this is your go-to sheet. They're perfect for filling jars as paper "love notes," making mini stickers (just add tape!), or creating a classroom kindness chain where each heart has one nice message. You can also use them as planner labels or envelope seals.
This oversized heart is basically a blank canvas for Valentine creativity. Kids can turn it into a watercolor masterpiece, or a "Reasons I Love You" list heart for a parent, teacher, or friend. It's also great as a template for a window or door decoration.
This dashed outline is awesome for scissor-skill practice and beginner cutting, because the line guides kids the whole way around. Have them cut it out and glue it onto construction paper for a quick Valentine craft. You can also let kids "sew" along the dashes with a hole punch and yarn for a fun fine-motor activity.
This set gives you multiple cutting-practice hearts in one print. Use them for cutting and pasting crafts, or let kids trace the dashed line with markers first, then cut (great for hand-eye coordination).
This nested-heart design is perfect for learning sizes and layering crafts. Kids can color each "ring" a different shade. It’s a great one for older kids to work on and will keep them busy for a while.
These big hearts give you tons of writing space without taking up the whole page with just one shape. They're great for making two large Valentine cards or "I love you because…" notes.
This page gives you two groups of layered hearts. It’s great for quick crafts with a little extra "wow." Kids can color and cut each layer, then glue them together slightly offset to make a 3D stacked heart. They're also handy for tracing different sizes when you don't need a whole page of hearts.
This template page has six matching hearts, each with three nested outlines. It’s perfect for kids who love "color inside the lines" projects. They can color each band a different shade (pink-red-purple rainbow looks adorable) or add patterns like stripes, dots, and zigzags.
This one is made to fold. There are two heart shapes connected in the middle with dotted fold marks. It's great for making a simple 3D hanging heart, a pop-open heart for a homemade card, or a cute "flip" craft kids can decorate on both sides. Write a message on one heart and a secret message on the other, then fold and glue/tape where needed.
This one has two hearts connected with a dotted fold line. It’s perfect for a card craft. Kids can color both hearts, fold on the dotted line, then write something thoughtful inside to give to friends or family.
These hearts have a sweet scalloped "doily" border plus an inner outline, so they feel fancy without being too hard. Cut them out for classroom valentines, gift tags, or pretty window/wall decorations.
This one is a heart framed by a bold ruffle border. Use the inside as a message space, a name label, or a mini "reasons I love you" list.
Two hearts overlap on this page, which makes it perfect for "me and you" or "best friends" crafts. Kids can write one name in each heart and color the outlines in different shades or decorate with glitter pens. It also makes a cute card front or a classroom display piece for friendship week/Valentine's Day.
This big heart template is packed with smaller hearts, turning it into a fun coloring page. Kids can color each mini heart a different color or pattern. Great as a classroom activity sheet or a Valentine's Day placemat.
This broken heart has a bold zig-zag crack down the center-perfect for stories and kindness lessons. Kids can decorate it, then "mend" it with paper strips, tape, or bandage stickers for a sweet forgiveness activity.
These are classic hearts with an arrow through them-simple, cute, and super kid-friendly. Color them like Cupid's arrow (or go wild with glitter colors), then cut them out for treat bag tags or classroom party decor.
These intertwined hearts are perfect for friendship and love themes. Kids can color each heart differently to represent two friends, siblings, or parent/child, then write names or "Besties" messages inside. Cut them out for a Valentine craft display or a sweet keepsake card front.
This sweet heart notepage is perfect for combining crafting + writing in one easy printable.
