Big Bubble Letters LOVE With Heart Borders

The word LOVE fills the middle of this page in tall, bold block letters, each one outlined with a offset shadow line behind it that gives a 3D look. The O has a narrow oval opening in the center, and the V and E have extra shadow edges on their right sides. Above and below the word, a long rectangular strip holds a row of eight outlined hearts, all the same simple shape. The wide open letters are easy for small hands to color, while the shadow lines make a nice spot for a second color. Try one color for each letter face and a darker shade for the shadows, then alternate colors across the hearts. It works well as a quick Valentine's Day card cover, a classroom bulletin board piece, or a printable activity for letter recognition.
