Be My Valentine Heart With Ruffled Petal Border

A large heart sits in the middle of the page with a ruffled, scalloped border of rounded petal shapes running around its edge. The petals are drawn in a simple outline, and they overlap slightly where the heart curves in at the top and narrows to the point at the bottom. Inside the heart, the words "Be My Valentine" are written in bubble-style outline letters on two lines, so kids can color each letter separately. The wide open space of the heart leaves lots of room for markers, crayons, or colored pencils. Try coloring the scalloped petals in alternating shades, like pink, red, and purple, and then fill the letters with a bright contrasting color so the message stands out. This free printable also works well as a handmade Valentine card for a classmate or family member, and the big letters are good practice for younger children working on staying inside the lines.
