Easy Things to Draw for Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day starts and ends with one easy shape: the heart. From there, kids can make hearts into almost anything — a love bug, a balloon, a bouquet — which makes it a sweet, simple holiday to draw for cards and gifts people actually keep.
8 easy things to draw
- a big heart with an arrow through it
- a bunch of heart balloons on strings
- a love bug with heart wings and antennae
- a flower with heart-shaped petals
- an envelope with a heart sealing it shut
- a teddy bear holding a little heart
- a card that says “I love you” inside a border of hearts
- two hearts linked together
What to draw for Valentine’s Day
A heart is two bumps and a point, and once a child can draw one, a whole page opens up: hearts become balloons on strings, petals on a flower, or the body of a little love bug with antennae. Add a short message like “I love you” and a border of tiny hearts, and a simple drawing turns into a heartfelt homemade card. Pinks, reds, and purples keep it sweet.
Valentine’s Day drawing tips
- 1Master the heart first. Draw two bumps that meet in a point at the bottom — practice a couple before adding details.
- 2Turn hearts into things. A heart can be a balloon, a petal, or a bug’s body — reuse the shape to fill the whole page.
- 3Add a sweet message. A short “I love you” or a name turns the drawing into a card someone will want to keep.
