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

  1. 1Master the heart first. Draw two bumps that meet in a point at the bottom — practice a couple before adding details.
  2. 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.
  3. 3Add a sweet message. A short “I love you” or a name turns the drawing into a card someone will want to keep.
